Written answers

The International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) cannot comment on individual cases.

Transfers and dispersals of international protection applicants are arranged for a number of reasons, including: maximisation of bed capacity, change in contract or status of centres, medical reasons, and upon request of the applicants.

Decisions with respect to applications for international protection are matter for the Department of Justice.
