While I cannot comment on individual cases, I can confirm to the Deputy that officials in my Department are aware of this case and it is receiving attention.

In order to protect the privacy of people applying for international protection, the Department does not provide operational information about relocations between International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) centres.

During their period in IPAS accommodation, people may have to move to alternative centres for a variety of reasons, including family needs, renovations, regulatory or compliance issues at their accommodation, and pressures on capacity within the system overall.

In some instances, residents may be asked to move accommodation as part of a documented process to support health and safety of residents and manage breaches of agreed rules within the accommodation centre.

Finally, should international protection applicants have any concerns in relation to any element of their accommodation, they can contact IPAS directly via a dedicated helpdesk at ipasinbox@equality.gov.ie.
