The Reception and Integration Agency (RIA) is responsible for the accommodation of asylum seekers in accordance with the Government policy of direct provision and dispersal.

The Deputy will be aware that the persons referred to in the details supplied were the subject of a Dáil Question from him answered on 3 July, 2008, No. 219. It was stated in the reply to that question that suitable accommodation, consisting of a three room suite with ensuite facilities, had been identified and that the family was being transferred to this accommodation. This arrangement has not changed.
