Letters to the Editor: Where's the outrage over direct provision centres?

A protestor holds a sign calling for an end to direct provision centres.

It strikes me as strange that while the wholly justified outrage at clerical abuse in industrial schools and the Magdalene laundries is reported nationally, there is a notable media silence about the sub-human conditions suffered by residents of the many direct provision centres through the country.

Many people with connections in government run these appalling centres that profit from human misery.
