Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, Roderic O’Gorman, T.D., today published a White Paper to End Direct Provision and to establish a new International Protection Support Service.
This White Paper sets out a new Government policy to replace Direct Provision, which will be phased out over the next four years. A new system for accommodation and supports for applicants for International Protection will be established. Under this new system, people who are applying for protection will be helped to integrate into Ireland from day one, with health, housing, education, and employment supports at the core of the system, a statement read.

The end is in sight for direct provision centres with the publication of a plan to cease the practice of paying firms to house asylum seekers in former hotels and other communal buildings on a long term basis.
Instead, new arrival centres are planned during what is termed a four-month orientation phase. At the end of this period applicants, people whose protection claims are still being processed will get their own room or own door accommodation in the community which they will have to rent.
