Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 July 2019
2686. Deputy Anne Rabbitte asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the number of deaths recorded on the register of births, deaths and marriages of persons who have resided at a direct provision centre between 2010 and to date in 2019, in tabular form; the ages of those who died; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [31858/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraPart 5 of the Civil Registration Act 2004, as amended, sets out the arrangements with respect to the registration of a death occurring within the State. The required particulars that are recorded relating to a deceased person include the place of death and the address at which the deceased person resided before their death (Section 37 and Schedule 1, Part 5). Based on the information recorded in the death registers, it is not feasible for the Civil Registration Service to identify deaths that occurred within direct provision centres or of person who resided in such places.
The Reception and Integration Agency has responsibility for direct provision matters within the Department of Justice and Equality.
