As the Deputy will be aware my Department is responsible for the provision of accommodation to persons in the International Protection process. All other matters and obligations relating to the asylum process should be directed to Department of Justice.

On 6 July 2018, Ireland adopted the European Communities (Reception Conditions) Regulations 2018 (S.I. 231 of 2018) http://opac.oireachtas.ie/AWData/Library3/JUQdoclaid060718_155358.pdf through it which transposed the recast Reception Conditions Directive into domestic law. The obligations arising for the State are set out in those Regulations.
