Answer

The Executive Office have strategic responsibility for refugees and asylum seekers and coordinate our response with the Home Office.

The Housing Executive inspects all properties made available under these schemes.

Where, accommodation is found to be unsuitable due to disability or mobility issues or for any reason all possible measures are taken to address these concerns as quickly as possible.
