People Before Profit's Bríd Smith Says The State's Dealing With Covid-19 In Direct Provision System Is "An Abuse Of Human Rights"

164 residents of direct provision across the country are known to have tested positive

Around 75 people living at one centre in Co Kerry are all being treated as close contacts. 

The Movement of Asylum Seekers says residents there are being blamed for failing to socially isolate, but find it impossible to do so. 

People Before Profit TD Bríd Smith says the message being given to asylum seekers is "insulting".
