Shalom House
Shalom House, on a rural estate at Ballynevin near Carrick-on-Suir in Co. Waterford, is operated as an International Protection Accommodation Services (IPAS) direct provision centre. The Department's IPAS published a Q2 2025 inspection report for the centre within its County Waterford 2025 inspection collection. According to TheJournal, the property — formerly the estate of cyclist Sean Kelly — was contracted by operator Shalom Living to provide accommodation for up to 77 international protection applicants.

Background
The site is at Ballynevin, Mothel, Carrick-on-Suir, Co. Waterford, Ireland. 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 77 people reported here imply roughly €2.4m 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.
