Question 696: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if his attention has been drawn to the fact that an agency (details supplied) under his responsibility has arbitrarily highjacked a postal address of its neighbour and incorporated it into a collective numerical address, which has resulted in the post destined for the original occupant going missing; if he will make arrangements with An Post and the management in the agency concerned to resolve same; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I understand that the Deputy is referring to the address of the Reception and Integration Agency, RIA, which has a directory listed address of Ardilaun Centre, Block C, 112-114 St. Stephen's Green, Dublin 2. The RIA moved to these premises in December 2002 and has been using the above address since that date. I understand that the address was derived from that previously used by Eircom, which is the main tenant of the Ardilaun Centre. The RIA was not aware of the existence of any duplicate address.

On foot of the Deputy's Parliamentary Question, the RIA has undertaken to make enquiries with An Post, Eircom, the Office of Public Works and the Royal College of Surgeons — the site's owners — as well as the Unitarian Church in order to resolve the matter. The RIA will liaise directly with An Post and the Unitarian Church following this consultation in order to put arrangements in place to manage any misdirected post and any address changes.
