Redbank Guesthouse (Skerries)

Redbank Guesthouse is a guesthouse on Church Street in Skerries, Co. Dublin. A gov.ie IPAS inspection report dated 25 November 2025 records it as state-contracted International Protection Accommodation Services (IPAS) accommodation, inspected "in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contracted provision of International Protection Accommodation Services." The report describes it as a mixed centre for international protection applicants (singles and families), with a contracted capacity of 87 and 56 residents present at the time of inspection. The inspector found the centre "clean, tidy and secure" and "well run," with no evidence of overcrowding, while noting minor compliance items (excess food stocks in some rooms, non-compliant fridges/hot plates/heaters in places, gaps in daily fire-check records, and no on-site defibrillator). Coordinates are street-level for Church Street, Skerries; the inspection report itself does not publish a street address or Eircode.

Background

The site is at Church Street, Skerries, Co. Dublin. Irish international protection accommodation is provided through IPAS (the International Protection Accommodation Service), under the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth. For how the system works and what it costs, open the cost panel on the interactive map with Ireland selected.

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 87 people reported here imply roughly €2.7m 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.
