Ireland's direct provision system will end in 2024, after being in operation for over 20 years.

Under a new system, asylum-seekers will stay in a reception centre for less than four months, before getting their own housing.
Minister for Equality, Roderic O'Gorman, says the new arrangement will be fully operational by December 2024.
