A report on ending direct provision received "quite a lot of pushback" at cabinet, the Irish Examiner can reveal.

The expert report, led by former secretary-general of the European Commission Catherine Day, was presented to Cabinet on Tuesday by Minister for Children Roderic O'Gorman and Minister for Justice Helen McEntee.
