Thank you for your query, Deputy. I can confirm there are two Emergency Reception Orientation Centres (EROCs) currently in operation:
- The Abbeyfield Hotel, Ballaghaderreen, Co. Roscommon
- The Clonea Strand Hotel, Dungarvan, Co. Waterford
In addition, there are dedicated EROC places within the Mosney Accommodation Centre, due to its particular suitability for families. The table below sets out the current numbers for each of the centres as of 31 December 2021. The Deputy should note that room configurations and family size can have an impact on the contracted capacity of an EROC.
