Clare Direct Provision Resident Calls For Refocus Of Asylum Seeker Accommodation

A Resident of a Clare Direct Provision claims the focus of Asylum Seeker Accommodation needs to be channelled towards quality rather than quantity. It comes as the Department of Integration is set to publish a new white paper next month, aiming to overhaul the direct provision system. There are over 800 International Protection Applicants residing in this county, living in both state and private accommodation. Bulenani Mfaco who is a resident at Knockalisheen Direct Provision Centre in Meelick says its vital that the needs of temporary protection applicants are not exploited for profit.
