On 23 February last, Minister of State Stanton and I published a report showing the significant progress in implementing the recommendations of the Report of the Working Group on Improvements to the Protection Process including Direct Provision and other supports for asylum seekers.
A total of 121 of the recommendations are now implemented, with a further 38 partially implemented or in progress. This means that 92% of the Report's 173 recommendations are now implemented, partially implemented or are in progress. This is a significant increase on the 80% reported in the first audit of progress published last June.
Details of progress on all of the 173 recommendations are available in the audit report, which has been posted on my Department's website and on the website of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service.
