Planning permission sought to retain emergency accommodation for IPAS applicants in Termon

Jacqueline Friel has applied for “retention” planning permission to keep an existing centre in Termon operating as emergency accommodation for International Protection applicants.

The proposal seeks a temporary change of use from a guesthouse‑type facility to accommodation for persons seeking international protection for a period of three years.

The property in question is a two‑storey building with nine bedrooms, covering 409 square metres (approximately 4,400 sq ft).

County council planners are scheduled to decide on the application by the end of December.
