Dáil Éireann Debate, Monday - 11 September 2023
1472. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth if he will outline, in relation to the International Protection Accommodation System, on what grounds a transfer of accommodation can be requested; and what evidence is accepted as supporting documentation for such requests. [39014/23]
View answerTransfers are currently suspended due to the extreme pressure throughout the accommodation system. Transfers are facilitated only in exceptional circumstances if more suitable accommodation is available.
Transfers may be facilitated on welfare grounds following a vulnerability assessment in accordance with Section 8 of S.I. No. 230/2018 - European Communities (Reception Conditions) Regulations 2018. They may also be granted on medical grounds where medical documentation is provided.
