It would not serve the public interest to divulge payment rates to contractors for services as it could prejudice the Department's negotiating position to deliver value for money with respect to other accommodation providers and locations.
Details of the amounts paid to the contractors for 2021 are published at the following location www.gov.ie/en/publication/3eef8-contract-values/ however the IPAS Centre in Richmond St, Dublin 1 only came into operation in mid November 2022.
