All this week Newstalk is focusing on what Direct Provision Centers are really like. Twenty years ago the then government came up with the concept of Direct Provision.

Places like Mosney and the old convent in Ballyhanis in county Mayo were converted to accommodate asylum seekers.

Our reporter Barry Whyte has been on a tour of center in both Mosney and Ballyhaunis and spoke to residents who live there.
