I would like to make a few other remarks as I may not get an opportunity to do so next week. I concur with what has been said previously, particularly with Senator van Turnhout's remarks in regard to direct provision. Last week, I commended the Taoiseach on making the State apology. It is hoped that there will not be a need for a future Taoiseach to make a State apology on behalf of people in direct provision. The Minister of State has heard previously what Senator van Turnhout and I have had to say on that matter. We need to act on direct provision. It is hoped that the redress scheme put in place is suitable and fit for purpose.
