I would like to assure the Deputy that the health and wellbeing of all people who avail of accommodation provided by this Department is of the highest priority to myself and my officials.

In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation, 2018, we cannot comment on individual cases without express consent of the person concerned.

Please be assured, however, that since 1 February 2021 all persons who make an application for international protection to the International Protection Office (IPO) are offered a vulnerability assessment by the Resident Welfare Team in IPAS.

The Resident Welfare Team is aware of this particular case and is engaging with the resident directly to ensure that their reception needs are being met.

I trust this clarifies the matter Deputy.
