Discussion and debate with Joe Duffy

Fr Paddy Byrne recently officiated at a grave blessing for a woman who had been in Direct Provision. Not one person had turned up for her funeral. We heard from David who worked in a Direct Provision centre, Owen who doesn't feel they are in any way imprisoned; Vimbee, who was 6 months in the Montague Centre; Vavara, a migrant from Russia, Sean, and Gerard.

Theresa told Joe about the reality of having a relative with a mental health issue. It has affected 4 generations of her family.
