There is 'breathtaking evidence' of overcharging by private operators. Obscene profiteering from the International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) for asylum-seekers is reported. Two directors of a cafe-turned-accommodation centre paid themselves €4.6m in one year. The same centre previously recorded a profit of just €2,092. The large disparity between payments to operators and the centre's earlier profit raises serious questions about contract oversight, procurement processes, and financial accountability in asylum accommodation provision. The details were presented to TDs in the Dáil, prompting calls for investigation and review of private provision arrangements.
