Direct provision

A Direct Provision centre at Lissywollen, Athlone, in 2013 – one of 34 such centres in Ireland.

Direct provision is functionally the system of accommodation for asylum-seekers in the Republic of Ireland. The usage of the term stems from the fact that asylum-seekers are "directly provided for" by the State. It was established in accordance with Ireland's obligations under the E.U. Charter of Fundamental Rights.
