Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 13 July 2023
615. Deputy Neasa Hourigan asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth the number of eviction notices issued to current and former international protection applicants living in IPAS accommodation, by body, by region between March 2022 to date in 2023, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34821/23]
View answerSince September 2022, The International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) has withdrawn accommodation from 22 households who have been granted International Protection or Permission to Remain.
Households can have their accommodation removed due to continuous breaking of House Rules whilst in IPAS accommodation. IPAS will only consider removal of accommodation in cases where individuals have had their application for International Protection determined, and as they are no longer considered International Protections applicants (IPAs), are therefore no longer entitled to Material Reception Conditions.
Please see below, in tabular format, a breakdown of where the 22 households were accommodated:
