The former Central Mental Hospital in Dundrum is in the process of being transferred to the Land Development Agency who will develop the site as a strategic housing scheme.
In the interim, part of the property has been licensed to the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth on a temporary basis for tented accommodation for IPAS applicants.
There are no plans for detention facilities at the property.
