The Reception and Integration Agency has responsibility for:

• Arranging accommodation and working with statutory and non-statutory agencies to co-ordinate the delivery of other services (including health, social services, welfare and education) for asylum seekers and refugees;
• co-ordinating the implementation of integration policy for all refugees and persons who, though not refugees, are granted leave to remain;
• responding to conflict crisis situations which result in relatively large numbers of refugees arriving in Ireland within a short period of time.
• supporting the repatriation, on an ongoing basis for the Department of Social and Family Affairs, of nationals of the ten new EU Member States who fail the Habitual Residency Condition attaching to Social Assistance Payments.
