Accommodation Status of RIA Residents

The figures above are taken from the AISIP database. At the end of the above profile there were 5,928 persons

“live on system”.

14 residents had not yet had their status recorded.

*An 'Unregistered Child' refers to a child living in RIA Accommodation, in respect of whom his/her parents

have yet to make an application for asylum for them.

Not with standing the status declared by an applicant for asylum, the figures above reflect the effective accom-

modation status of a resident while in RIA Accommodation.

For example, while a resident may be married to a person who remains in their country of origin, his/her status

for purely accommodation reasons will be 'Single'.

Capacity v Occupancy Table from Jan 2002 to Date ( Accommodation Centres Only )

1) The above figures represent a 'snapshot' of data on the evening of last Sunday of each month. Occupancy figures can vary throughout

the year because of the interaction of residents leaving (either through normal means or because of special schemes such as the Irish Born

Child 2005 Scheme), residents arriving, temporary closures, medical restrictions on arrivals arising from outbreaks of chickenpox, etc. 2) It is desired that RIA maintain a 10% “cushion” between maximum capacity and actual occupancy, as a contingency to cope with unex-

pected spikes in numbers of asylum seekers coming in to the accommodation system, to allow for temporary or permanent closures of

individual centres, and to help RIA to react to medical emergencies causing restrictions to some of our capacity. However, considering that there has been such a considerable escalation in new applications over 2018 it has become increasing difficult to maintain a 10%

‘’cushion’’ state as described.

3) From October 2017 the main body of Irish Refugee Protection Programme (IRPP) clients resident in Mosney will not be included in the

Accommodation Centres Only statistics.

Note on Source of Statistics in this Report The statistics with regards to numbers and demographics of those in RIA accommodation in this report are primarily drawn from two sources. The first source is from centre weekly returns, based on a ‘snapshot’ of occupancy each Sunday evening. These are the most accurate way we have of gauging the numbers in our centres, as well as vacancies available to us. Many of the statistics in this report are based on those returns, such as the ‘RIA Resi-dents by County etc.’(p.7), Occupancy & Capacity in RIA Accommodation’ (p.12). In other cases, in order to get a demographic breakdown of RIA residents, statistics are produced by RIA’s database, AISIP. These give us, for example, the accommodation status of RIA residents (p.5), nationality (p.14), and duration of stay (p. 16). As a matter of course, there is usually a slight discrepancy between the numbers sourced by both methods, as the daily numbers “on the ground” in centres, as per the centre returns, has to be processed by RIA staff and subsequently reflected “live on system” on AISIP.
