Question:

433 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the location of all asylum-seekers and refugees in the State; and the numbers in each location for the year ended 2001, 2002 and 2003. [5600/04]

Written answers

The reception and integration agency, RIA, is responsible, inter alia, for meeting the accommodation needs of asylum seekers under the system of dispersal and direct provision. It has no role in relation to the payment of rent supplements to enable asylum seekers access the private rented sector. It also provides self catering accommodation in extenuating circumstances to a small number of asylum seekers. Refugees and persons given leave to remain in the State essentially have access on the same basis as Irish citizens to the general housing stock, and as such, the RIA has no information on the individual locations of this cohort of immigrants.

The information sought by the Deputy in respect of asylum seekers accommodated by the RIA in direct provision and self catering facilities for the years in question is set out in the following table. It should also be noted that while the RIA has no specific detailed information on the number of asylum seekers accommodated in the private rented sector in receipt of rent supplements by health boards, it is understood that over 5,000, claims approximately 50% of claims in the State by non-EEA nationals — are currently in payment in the greater Dublin area.
