Ireland and many other European countries are experiencing a significant increase of people seeking international protection (IP).

As at 21 January 2024, there were over 26,700 people accommodated in the International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) system as a whole (of whom over 5,800 are children).

IPAS releases weekly statistics in relation to international protection (IP) applicants. This includes a per county breakdown of where IP applicants are residing. These statistics are located on the Gov.ie website: gov.ie - IPAS Statistics (www.gov.ie)

Please see, in tabular format, the breakdown per county. Information related to the number of applicants by Eircode in Dublin is not routinely collated. The information sought is now being collated and will issue directly to the Deputy shortly.
