The incident to which the Deputy refers did not occur in the centre named in this question and the matter is under investigation by the local gardaí. As I indicated in my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 478 of 25 November last from the Deputy, the reception and integration agency, which oversees accommodation matters for asylum seekers, is satisfied that the security arrangements in place at the accommodation centre are in compliance with the terms of the contract.
