The International Protection Procurement Service (IPPS) is responsible for the procurement of accommodation for use by the International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS).
Since January 2022, over 155 emergency accommodation centre locations have come into use across 25 counties in order to shelter those who seek refuge in Ireland.
As of today, there are currently 207 accommodation locations across 26 counties in use by IPAS to provide accommodation to people seeking international protection. This includes 49 permanent centres, 154 emergency centres and two temporary tented locations.
When considering new IPAS centre locations, IPPS co-operates with the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage and each Local Authorities to ensure that it does not encroach on homeless facilities in use in Local Authorities.
