In order to meet the demand for accommodation places, my Department has sought expressions of interest from owners of suitable premises to meet the demand in the short term. While my Department is in negotiations with a number of interested parties, no agreements are in place currently.
In parallel, my Department is running a series of regional procurement competitions through the Government's procurement portal www.e-tenders.gov.ie to provide accommodation places in the medium to long term. While no additional centres emerged from the South-East Tender competition, a number of competitions are currently in process (Midlands, Mid-West, South-West and Western Region) and the remaining Regions (Dublin, Mid-East and Border Regions) will be advertised by end of Q3 of this year.
Details of any new accommodation centre identified through either process will be communicated to relevant stakeholders such as local authorities, HSE, Department of Education and Skills and the Department of Employment and Social Protection prior to its opening.
