View answerThe Independent Working Group to report to Government on what improvements should be made to the protection process, including Direct Provision and supports for asylum seekers, was set up in October 2014 under the Chairmanship of former High Court Judge, Dr. Bryan McMahon and its membership was drawn from a range of interests in the international protection area including, UNHCR, non-governmental organisations, protection applicants, academia, and relevant Government Departments and Offices.
The Report of the Working Group has been submitted to me today and I will be presenting it to Government shortly for approval to be published.
