Direct provision centres to be inspected fewer times this year

The Skellig Star hotel in Cahersiveen, Co. Kerry, revealed the flaws in the direct provision centre inspection process, according to Nasc. 

The Department of Children has revealed that it is only aiming to carry out one inspection of each of the 45 direct provision centres this year, as opposed to the usual three inspections.  

Inspections have also ceased since Ireland went into level five restrictions.
