Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 14 September 2022
404. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth if he will provide a breakdown of the total number of persons who have died in the direct provision system, by cause of death in each of the past ten years and to date in 2022, in tabular form. [44668/22]
View answerIPAS has a policy on the recording and reporting of deaths of residents in International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) centres, and as part of that policy, IPAS publishes resident death statistics on a biannual basis with the most recent publication in June 2022 and the next publication due in December 2022.
This information is available on the IPAS website and can be found at the following link:

I trust this information clarifies the matter Deputy.
