Ms Mary Hayes:

In the DHRE, our focus is on our own statutory duties, by and large. However, where we can assist our colleagues in the International Protection Accommodation Services, IPAS, we do so. For example, if we have a building that is not going to be used or is not suitable for us, we will pass it on to IPAS. On the question of whether we have the capacity or scope to accommodate IP applicants, we simply do not.
