Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 8 December 2020
455. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth the companies currently providing accommodation to the State for use as direct provision centres; and the sums paid to each of these companies in each of the past five years. [41499/20]
View answerMy Department currently has contracts in place for 48 accommodation centres, including management contracts for 6 State owned centres. The 48 centres comprise 45 accommodation centres for International Protection applicants, the National Reception Centre for International Protection applicants in Balseskin, Co. Dublin and 3 Emergency Reception and Orientation Centres (EROC) for refugees brought to Ireland under the Irish Refugee Protection Programme (IRPP). It should be noted that Mosney Accommodation Centre provides accommodation for both International Protection applicants and, in a separate block, for IRPP clients.
It is our policy not to disclose financial information on individual contracts for the most recent two calendar years. It is not appropriate to provide the current individual contract values entered into by my Department as negotiations take place with a number of commercial entities on an on-going basis with a clear focus on achieving the best value for money in respect of each contract. It is not in the interests of yielding best value for the taxpayer that the details of current individual contracts are made available to other commercial bodies who are, or may be in the future, engaged in these negotiations.
Contract information is published on an annual basis each January and the information for contracts in 2018 is currently being compiled for publication in January 2021. Details of payments made to contractors are published on http://www.ria.gov.ie/en/RIA/Pages/ContractValues. Our policy document on the release of financial information on contract values is also available on this webpage.
The table below provides the names of each management company currently being utilised by my Department and the amount paid to each company in 2016 and 2017.
Cells marked N/A indicate that this company is currently an Accommodation Centre contractor but was not contracted by my Department in the years for which financial data is available as per our policy.
