Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 12 July 2023
230. Deputy Cormac Devlin asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth if he is aware of the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34744/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraDeputy, as you may be aware, unfortunately I am unable to comment on individual accommodation allocations within International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) centres.
I can advise that in arranging moves, IPAS takes in to account the personal circumstances of the applicant and the accommodation that is available at the time, including the location where the international protection applicant (IPA) is currently residing.
Requests for re-accommodation for a person awaiting a decision on their application for international protection can be made by the individual applicant, in writing, to ipasinbox@equality.gov.ie.
Due to the acute accommodation shortage at present, IPAS may not be in a position to facilitate specific location requests.
