I propose to take Questions Nos. 255 and 257 to 260, inclusive, together.

The information the Deputy has requested refers to persons residing in accommodation provided by the Reception and Integration Agency (RIA) in the Kildare area. Although there are a certain number of people residing in accommodation centres that have some sort of status or permission to remain, for the most part people residing in accommodation centres have current applications or appeals pending for international protection.

The statistical data the Deputy requires is contained in the following tabular statements.
