Direct Provision System
Dail Éireann — 2022-07-07
============================================================

Roderic O'Gorman (GP), Dublin West

Deputy Cairns is aware of the major pressures on accommodation throughout the country right now. Our Department, like others, sources accommodation where we can. Where we are able to facilitate families in terms of where they have integrated and made connections, we absolutely will seek to do that. Realistically I am not in a position to say I can guarantee that in every situation because there may be areas where we have not been able to secure accommodation. We all know the pressure that is there. We will do our best. We want to change the system. We want to put people at the centre and supporting the needs of individuals and families at the centre but I would be lying to the House were I to make any absolute commitments. It is not possible to make absolute commitments on that at this point.
