Atlas Language School Residence
A four-storey student-accommodation building at 96-98 Rathmines Road Upper, Rathmines, Dublin 6, operated by Atlas Language School and used to house international protection applicants alongside language students. It is listed in the Government of Ireland's official IPAS inspection collection for County Dublin, which published Q2 and Q4 2025 inspection reports for the centre; a 2023 inspection recorded a capacity of 59 residents across 34 rooms. The premises were first named as an IPAS centre in a January 2023 Dáil reply.

Background
The site is at 96-98 Rathmines Road Upper, Rathmines, Dublin 6, D06 Y684. Irish international protection accommodation is provided through IPAS (the International Protection Accommodation Service), under the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth.

Cost
Irish IPAS accommodation is funded by the State. At a blended benchmark of about €84 per person per night (the 2024 whole-system average reported by RTÉ), the 59 people reported here imply roughly €1.8m per year. This is an order-of-magnitude figure for context only, not a site-specific invoice — over 90% of IPAS accommodation is commercially provided and emergency rates run far above State-owned centres.
