I welcome this clarification on where the Government stands. I would have thought from debates in the Seanad previously that a number of Senators on all sides of the House have called for the abolition of direct provision. I am certainly one of them. It is now clear there is nothing in the Bill which will abolish direct provision and that it is here to stay as a system. Nothing in the Bill will change the conditions.
