The Reception and Integration Agency, RIA, is aware of the plans by the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government and Kildare County Council to use the entire site at Magee Barracks for affordable housing. The RIA has undertaken that, subject to demand, when the current contract for services at the accommodation centre expires in June 2006, the agency will not include the centre in any future tender competitions.
