That this Area Committee supports the end to the system known as Direct Provision and acknowledges it is however now unlikely to end this during the lifetime of the current Government due to a number of Factors. In the mean time we call on the Government to do everything to make the system as easy as possible and that all refugees are treated equally and given the same opportunities.
