What’s the alternative for Direct Provision?

gailforecast · 2020-08-11 09:58:50

Do we just need to process applications sooner, or is there actually a practical solution that can be an alternative?

The Village Magazine article seems to keep giving us more information on the desire by some to get into the Direct Provision business. It is a guaranteed business model where the owners can pretty much print their own money if they have enough contacts in the Irish government to get them into "the club".

Matt Ó'Tuathail is the personal friend of Leo Varadkar who received the leaked confidential and commercially sensitive document from him when he was taoiseach. So we have a doctor, Matt Ó'Tuathail, who treats patients in Direct Provision for Safety Net Primary Care, and upon seeing the money to be made in these centers, asks a person associated with a Private Healthcare provider if they would consider opening up Direct Provision centers, adding a big auld money bag at the end of his suggestion: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ElqqBi8WkAYBS9I?format=jpg&name=large
