The International Protection Procurement Service (IPPS) had received an offer of accommodation for people seeking international protection at this property, however the property is no longer under consideration.

All offers of international protection accommodation are reviewed by the Department under a standardised appraisal procedure.

Factors in the appraisal of international protection accommodation include the site and its potential, the value for money it offers, planning matters and any works required to meet the required standards.

Consideration is also given to the location regarding access to services, resident welfare, health and wellbeing, and the current level of need in the sector.
