View answerOn 31 July 2015, RIA, the Reception and Integration Agency of my Department, advertised for Expressions of Interest from persons interested in providing accommodation for persons in the protection process.
On foot of this advertisement, RIA received numerous responses including one from a premises in the Ballybunion area. For a number of reasons this premises has proven to be unsuitable and will not be utilised by RIA at this time.
