I propose to take Questions Nos. 1124 and 1123 together.

In relation to proposed locations for International Applicants (IP) or Beneficiaries of Temporary Protection (BOTP), without an Eircode for specific locations my Department is unable to provide any information.

For example the title of locations may be referred to by different names within the local community where it is situated. With reference to large scale sites, there may be multiple units on that site with only 1 unit being offered.

As such, Department officials cannot accurately identify current or proposed accommodation locations by name only.

If the Deputy can provide an Eircode, my Department can assist with his query further, or the Deputy may contact the Community Engagement Team at community@equality.gov.ie

The Department is currently not considering any other sites for modular accommodation for BOTPs in Clonmel other than the site about which the Deputy was briefed in my response to his previous question PQ 9945.
