272. Deputy Louis O'Hara asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration if a building (details supplied) is being considered for international protection accommodation; if he believes this is a suitable location for international protection accommodation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [54010/25]
View answerThe International Protection Procurement Service (IPPS) received an offer of accommodation for people seeking international protection at this property. However, the offer 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 well-being, and the current level of need in the sector.
