Question:

1115. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth the reason the Reception and Integration Agency ceased publishing detailed monthly reports regarding direct provision and asylum in Ireland which were routinely published from 2004 to 2018; if there are plans to make such detailed information reports available at any point in the future; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth

The Reception and Integration Agency (RIA) was replaced by International Protection Accommodation Services (IPAS) in 2019.  This change of structures and the demands of the Covid pandemic created delays in the publication of information.  However, information that would previously have been contained in RIA’s annual reports is now made available by IPAS on the Gov.ie website.
