View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 101, 102 and 103 together.
The Department does not release data with respect to potential IPAS accommodation offers for security reasons and as a matter of operational policy.
The International Protection Procurement Service (IPPS) carefully appraises each property that is offered for use as accommodation for International Protection (IP) applicants before contracts are issued.
The Department can only confirm use of a premises once a contract has been signed, and will, following this, inform local public representatives and statutory agencies through its Community Engagement Team (CET).
