Ceist:

520. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will discuss with the Ministers for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government and Social Protection the funding arrangements for residents of direct provision centres who have secured their leave to remain but are unable to source permanent accommodation and are effectively using direct provision as a form of emergency accommodation and who are having their social welfare payments deducted at source leaving them with inadequate income and an inability to save for a deposit for rented accommodation.

I am currently looking to see how we can enable residents of direct provision centres that have secured their leave to remain to move out of direct provision. The Department of Justice and Equality is engaging with the Department of Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government and with the Department of Social Protection in this regard.
