View answerMy Department's International Protection Procurement Service (IPPS) is not currently examining any property for future use as international protection accommodation in Navan, County Meath.
There are a number of existing accommodation centres in the Navan area providing accommodation for people fleeing the war in Ukraine, or for international protection applicants.
While the Department does not publish specific locations of accommodation centres, the International Protection Accommodation Services (IPAS) provides accommodation in almost 320 centres around the country, and publishes regular statistics in relation to international protection accommodation. This includes a per county breakdown of where applicants are residing and a wide range of other details.
These statistics are located on the Gov.ie website:
