The breakdown by county of the number of persons currently resident in International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) accommodation, as at 20 November, is set out below.

Any queries relating to application timeframes are a matter for the International Protection Office (IPO) which falls under the aegis of the Department of Justice and should be directed accordingly.

In relation to country of origin, international protection applicants have a statutory right to anonymity and, accordingly, IPAS does not provide such information about the residents of IPAS accommodation.

The number of people who have been granted leave to remain at the end of October is 4,625.
