Direct Provision System
Dail Éireann — 2021-05-27
============================================================

Gino Kenny (PBP), Dublin Mid-West

My question refers to the commitment in the programme for Government to phase out direct provision. As the Minister will know, direct provision has existed in this country for more than 20 years. What was meant to be a temporary solution has become permanent, with devastating consequences for those in direct provision. I would like to hear the Minister's answer to this question.
