View answerThe Report of the Committee to review the house rules for asylum seekers in accommodation centres will be published on the website of the Reception and Integration Agency of my Department by the end of the month. The RIA website address is www.ria.gov.ie.
Arising from the report and in accordance with its findings, the revised house rules were submitted to the National Adult Literacy Association for proofing in relation to simplicity of language. The house rules were then recirculated to the members of the review group and final approval on the text was received in November 2009. RIA is currently working on adding visual aids to the document in order to facilitate ease of understanding. Furthermore, a programme of information and dissemination to residents and staff of all accommodation centre about the house rules will begin shortly.
The text of the revised house rules will also be published on the RIA website by the end of the month.
