Minister for Integration Roderic O’Gorman confirmed the move amid pressure from Fine Gael TD to use private companies for modular units
“I am advised by my officials that within the work of the Government accommodation working group established by the Taoiseach, discussions are taking place on the feasibility of accessing privately owned modular developments and the steps involved. To date, my department have not contracted any private modular developments,” Mr O’Gorman said in parliamentary correspondence to Fine Gael TD Paul Kehoe.
Meanwhile, the Joint Committee on Integration will be told by senior officials on Tuesday that there is “an unprecedented level of demand” for accommodation for international protection applicants. She will also say that “in spite of intensive efforts, demand for accommodation has outstripped available capacity over the last 18 months”.
