Deputy Catherine Connolly asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth the number of review decisions issued under Article 20.(1)(a) and Article 20.(1)(d); the outcomes of each of those decisions; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 284 and 285 together.
Under the Recast Reception Conditions Directive (SI 230 of 2018), the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (DCEDIY) is legally required to provide material reception conditions in the form of accommodation and services to international protection applicants who seek it while their claim for international protection is being determined by the International Protection Office. I wish to confirm that to date no International Protection Applicant (IPA) has had material reception conditions withdrawn. As a consequence, a review process has yet to be invoked.
