Carol Nolan is asking the Attorney General to examine the entire system.
An Offaly TD is calling on the Attorney General to overhaul the direct provision system.
168 asylum seekers are to be accommodated in a new centre at the former Marian Hostel in Tullamore from early next month.
But independent Carol Nolan says the lack of consultation with public representatives and the community is appalling.
She believes a contract of this scale has to be a collaboration between the Department of Justice and the public.
Deputy Nolan says she's asked for the government's legal advisor to examine the entire system, which she feels is unfair, divisive and short-sighted:
