Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 March 2023
875. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth the number of persons who have died in the State while seeking international protection in each of the past ten years, by cause of death, age and nationality, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraDeputy,
IPAS has a policy on the recording and reporting of deaths of residents in International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) centres, and as part of that policy, IPAS publishes resident death statistics on a biannual basis with the most recent publication in June 2022.
This information is available on the Gov.ie website and can be found at the following link:
gov.ie - Statistics on Deaths of International Protection Accommodation Service Residents (www.gov.ie)
I trust this clarifies the matter.
