Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 17 December 2020
492. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice if arrangements can be made for a person (details supplied) to return to Clondalkin Towers, in which the person previously resided; the current status in respect of the person's application for residency status; if compassionate consideration will be given to this case, with particular reference to the medical circumstances; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe person concerned is the subject of a Deportation Order. However, they have made a request, under section 3(11) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), to have that Order revoked and this will be considered as soon as possible. The decision will be that the existing Deportation Order will be either 'affirmed' or 'revoked'.
Responsibility for international protection accommodation now rests with the Department of Children, Disability, Equality, Integration and Youth following the transfer of this function on 14 October 2020. I am advised by that Department that the person should apply directly to the International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) at ipasinbox@ipas.cloud.gov.ie, with their accommodation request and include their name, ID number and the details of any connected family members.
