Deputy Albert Dolan questioned Oonagh McPhillips, Doncha O’Sullivan, and David Delaney on Ireland’s asylum system and State spending on accommodation.
The discussion revealed:
Asylum claims up fivefold since 2021 from 3,000 to nearly 18,000 per year.
80% of applicants currently refused.
€2 billion paid to top 25 accommodation suppliers over the last decade.
Many emergency contracts issued without planning or full procurement during the crisis.
A new rate card has cut renewal prices by 23%, saving €50 million in six months.
