Amharc ar fhreagraIGO Emergency Management Services are a facilities management provider at four IPAS Accommodation Centres.
In seeking to meet Ireland’s obligation to provide material reception conditions to people seeking international protection, the Department can consider offers of accommodation from a tax-compliant company, subject to compliance with statutory requirements and minimum standards.
The Department carries out due diligence on accommodation being contracted including checks via the Companies Registration Office (CRO) to ensure compliance with CRO requirements and tax compliance checks by way of a valid Tax Clearance Certificate.
Apart from ensuring that the provider has valid tax clearance on an ongoing basis, this Department does not have access to information relating to a provider's wider financial arrangements or liabilities outside of our accommodation contracts.
While detailed contractual arrangements for IPAS centres are confidential and commercially sensitive, the Department publishes quarterly reports on all payments to accommodation service providers over €20,000.
These reports are publicly available online at Gov.ie
