153. To ask the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth further to Parliamentary Question No. 253 of 3 December 2020, the reason the latest inspection report on the International Protection Accommodation Service website for this direct provision centre is for May 2019 when an inspection was supposed to have been carried out in September 2020; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The inspection report to which the Deputy refers was published on the former Reception and Integration Agency website, www.ria.gov.ie. The RIA website was replaced by a dedicated International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) website in August 2021. Unfortunately, the published inspection report was not migrated to the new IPAS website, part of the gov.ie portal. This has now been rectified. The report is available in the publications section at www.gov.ie/en/publication/534c2-ipas-inspection-reports/#monaghan, together with reports of two further inspections of the centre in 2020. I am grateful to the Deputy for drawing my attention to this matter.
