The International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) requires all residents and staff in Accommodation Centres to be treated with respect. To this end, IPAS has produced a Domestic, Sexual and Gender Based Violence Policy and House Rules and Procedures for Reception and Accommodation Centres, which outline the procedures followed by IPAS following any allegations of misconduct.
IPAS cannot comment on any alleged individual incidents. Where any person suspects that a crime has been committed, this should immediately be reported to An Garda Síochána. IPAS is committed to engaging with An Garda Síochána on any investigation.
