Integration Conference session 4: Replacing the system of Direct Provision

For more than 20 years of existence the system of Direct Provision has been criticised by residents, human rights activists, academics and civil society. A number of various reports have been produced analysing the negative impact on people’s wellbeing and their prospects of integration after receiving their status. Reflecting commitments made in the Programme for Government, Minister for Children, Disabilities, Equality and Integration Roderic O’Gorman, TD, has articulated a strong commitment to replacing the system of Direct Provision. His work started with commissioning the Day report and subsequently overseeing the formulation of the Government White Paper on Direct Provision, expected in early 2021. We will hear from activists and professionals who have personal experience of the Direct Provision. The panellists will discuss the Report of the Advisory Group on the Provision of Support including Accommodation to Persons in the International Protection Process and proposed solutions.
