253. Deputy Pauline Tully asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth if he will report on the inspection carried out in September 2020 of a direct provision centre (details supplied) by the International Protection Accommodation Service; the timeline for the publication of the report; the actions he will take regarding the findings of the inspection; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe Inspection process involves a site visit and follow up correspondence with centre management to alert the management company to any issues which need addressing.
The report of the inspection to the centre referred to by the Deputy has recently been completed and sent to the centre's management for comment prior to finalisation. I intend to review the report of the centre and engage with the International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) of my Department about its findings and any recommendations.
Only following acknowledgement and remediation (if necessary) from the management company is the full report and correspondence uploaded on the website. The report will be published shortly as are all such inspection reports.
The inspection reports can be found on www.ria.gov.ie.
