The accommodation centre referred to by the Deputy is Clare Lodge, Ennis, Co. Clare. The Reception and Integration Agency's contract with the centre ended in the normal course on 29 September, 2009 when the terms of the contract expired.

Persons accommodated in the centre were transferred to other centres within the RIA accommodation portfolio, a process phased over several weeks and designed to cause as little disruption as possible to those involved.
