Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth the reason a person (details supplied) was accommodated at a facility in County Kerry as an IPAS applicant whilst awaiting court proceedings in a different part of the country; what will be done to address this; if such cases will be prioritised for processing and decision making; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) cannot comment on individual cases.

Transfers and dispersals of international protection applicants are arranged for a number of reasons, including: maximisation of bed capacity, change in contract or status of centres, medical reasons, and upon request of the applicants.

Decisions with respect to applications for international protection are matter for the Department of Justice.
