If an application for international protection has been made in the State, for confidentiality reasons it is not the practice to comment on such applications.

When accommodation is being offered to an applicant for international protection, the particular needs of that applicant are taken into consideration when that offer of accommodation is being made. It is of course the case that it may not always be possible to address all of those needs. 

If an applicant for International Protection is availing of accommodation in the Direct Provision system and is not satisfied with that accommodation, the procedures for raising complaints are set out clearly on the website of the Reception and Integration Agency (www.ria.gov.ie) and in the RIA House Rules.  Applicants living in Direct Provision also have access to the Offices of the Ombudsman and the Ombudsman for Children.
