Please note that the International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) does not hold lease agreements but instead has contracts or licence to use agreements.
The current classification of properties that are in operation across the IPAS system are as follows:
- 49 Permanent IPAS Accommodation Centres
- 231 Emergency Accommodation Centres
- The National Reception Centre
- The City West Transit Hub
- 4 Tented Accommodation Centres
In relation to service providers contracted by IPAS to provide accommodation services to International Protection (IP) applicants, the Department publishes reports on all payments over €20,000.These are published, once per quarter, on gov.ie.
(www.gov.ie/en/collection/dfdadb-department-of-children-and-youth-affairs-purchase-orders-for-20000-o/)
Due to both safety concerns and the Department's responsibility to protect the right to confidentiality of each international protection (IP) applicant, it is not possible to provide further breakdown or lists of locations. However, IPAS releases weekly statistics in relation to IP applicants. This includes a per county breakdown of where IP applicants are residing. These statistics are also published on gov.ie.
