Social Welfare and Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2024-01-31
============================================================

Heather Humphreys (FG), Cavan-Monaghan

To Deputy Ó Laoghaire's point, there is a dedicated complaints system, if people are not happy. There is an IPAS centre for refugees in my own county of Monaghan. I have visited it on many occasions. The standard of accommodation has improved considerably over the years. It is not, as Deputy Murphy claims, some kind of substandard accommodation that people are living in. There are some really good centres. I visited the one in Monaghan at Christmas a year ago. Many people and families have their own independent accommodation on the site. I will stand over the fact that when people come to this country, they are treated with respect and dignity.
To Deputy Ó Laoghaire's other point, an inspection regime also exists and we can provide a note on that. I think I have covered all the questions that were raised.
