Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 29 April 2021
87. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth if an international protection accommodation service will be provided in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22428/21]
View answerI am advised by officials in the Interational Protection Accommodation Services area (IPAS) of my Department that the person referred to by the Deputy voluntarily left his assigned accommodation placement in an accommodation centre for International Protection applicants in August 2020 having found private accommodation.
I am further advised that the person is no longer an applicant for protection and is consequently ineligible for the provision of accommodation under the European Communities (Reception Conditions) Regulations 2018. The person in question has previously been informed of the position by IPAS.
