I can confirm that officials in the International Protection Accommodation Services (IPAS) have made enquiries with the management of the accommodation centre referred to by the Deputy in respect of matters he raised with me in representations.
Neither the management nor the IPAS have received complaints of the nature referred to by the Deputy.
It is important to note that services for all International Protection applicants are mainstreamed. As such, residents of Carroll Village are entitled to apply to the Department of Social Protection for Emergency Needs Payments if required. Information on how to apply for this payment is provided to all International Protection applicants and the management of the centre and the Child and Family Services Unit of IPAS will assist residents in contacting the Community Welfare Officer in the area if requested.
