Towers direct provision centre in Dublin will remain open for at least another two years, the Department of Justice has confirmed.
The department confirmed this week that the closure of the Dublin centre had been averted and, following the completion of mobilisation works, a contract would be signed for “a minimum of two years”. “The residents, because of this process, will enjoy greater autonomy and independence in the centre with the introduction of independent living and cooking facilities.”
More than 700 people nationwide are still living in direct provision centres despite receiving refugee status or permission to remain in the country.
