Efforts to protect people in Direct Provision (DP) have been slammed as "shambolic" and failing to protect the vast majority of asylum seekers living in the system.

The Movement of Asylum Seekers in Ireland (MASI) was responding to plans by the Department of Justice to open three new self isolation facilities for people in DP by the end of the week in addition to one already operating in Dublin.
