Some residents at direct-provision centre ‘could not avail’ of more appropriate accommodation and were ‘anxious’, says inspection report
At Mosney international protection centre, inspectors found that 702 of the 875 residents had received refugee or subsidiary protection status.has sent 3,004 letters since September 2022 to those granted permission to remain in Ireland but who have not yet secured private housing, requesting they seek alternative accommodation.
“This was driven by a fundamental shift in service delivery, which was informed by the findings from the previous inspection in January 2024. The remaining centres inspected had relatively low levels of, if any, noncompliance,” a statement from Hiqa said. In one centre, a support group for refugee and migrant women was founded, and a member of the group was nominated for an award in recognition of commitment to community and voluntary activity.
At St Patrick’s in Co Monaghan, the provider had “failed to ensure that recruitment practices in the centre were safe and effective”.
