553. To ask the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth if he will list the direct provision centres currently operating in the State; the number of persons residing in each; and the number residing in each centre in each of the past five years in tabular form [11545/22]

Thank you for your query, Deputy. Please find both tables as requested.

Table 1 is a list of direct provision centres currently operating in the State - 45 direct provision centres and the National Reception Centre in Balseskin. The figures for residents are the latest available from 20 February 2022.

Table 2 you can find the number residing in each centre as of 31 December for 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. Some of these centres were not operational for the full five years and thus have a zero occupancy recorded where that is the case.
