Pa Daly (SF), Kerry

When the White Paper on ending direct provision was announced two years ago, it was broadly welcomed on all sides, although we would have preferred more State involvement in the reception and integration centres. Over the past year, however, the situation has deteriorated somewhat as a result of the war in Ukraine. Some of the difficulties of the past year could have been avoided if there had been more progress in respect of the capital projects. What progress has been made in implementing the White Paper?
