Discussion and debate with Joe Duffy

Today's Liveline was again dominated by stories from the Direct Provision system in Ireland. Theresa contacted Liveline to talk about her friend who died while in Direct Provision in Cork. 

Sean Deegan was a member of the Refugee Appeals Tribunal. Over six years, he heard 500 cases of asylum and approved only two. He talked about his experience of being part of the system in Ireland. 

Joe also heard from Direct Provision resident Nicole whose access to education was hindered because of prohibitive fees. She was joined on the line by her mum Thandi when they received some good news.
