Deputy,

IPAS has a policy on the recording and reporting of deaths of residents in International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) centres, and as part of that policy, IPAS publishes resident death statistics on a biannual basis with the most recent publication in June 2022.

This information is available on the Gov.ie website and can be found at the following link:

gov.ie - Statistics on Deaths of International Protection Accommodation Service Residents (www.gov.ie)

I trust this clarifies the matter.
