1219. To ask the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth if the International Protection Accommodation Service has responsibility for providing quarantine accommodation for refugee family members given the prohibitive costs of hotel quarantine facilities for family members who have a right to be reunified with their family members in Ireland in accordance with the International Protection Act 2015; if not, if quarantine hotel fees will be waived for beneficiaries of refugee family reunification; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

IRPP has responsibility for the arrival of family members being reunified under Irish Humanitarian Admissions Programme.

Family members arriving during Covid 19 have been facilitated in IPAS quarantine centres at no cost to the refugees or their family members.  All quarantine rules have been observed.
