Ombudsman Say People In Direct Provision Need More Support To Work
The Ombudsman says people living in Direct Provision centres need to be given more support to work and resettle in their own home.
The report highlights communication issues between residents and staff, and a lack of cooking facilities as some of the main issues.
A number of protests were mounted in two Cork direct provision centres in 2014 by residents who raised some of these issues and called for an end to the system, a decision on their citizenship applications, and the freedom to work and study.
Based on visits to the centres over a year, Ombudsman Peter Tyndall says they're not suited to long-term stays and some improvements are needed:
