The Department disclosed two separate 2025 top-ten lists: IPAS payments and payments for accommodation connected with people fleeing Ukraine. We keep them separate because they are different programmes.
What the figures prove: the amounts paid to the named supplier in the stated programme and period.
What they do not prove: contract value, company revenue, profit, tax, ownership of a centre or the number of people accommodated.

What the State auditor found
The Comptroller and Auditor General found wider control failures in the accommodation system. In sampled records, IPAS did not show that claimed capacity or occupancy had been checked against its own records. The report records €7.4 million in VAT incorrectly charged by one unnamed multi-property provider and a further €5.1 million in overpayments from contract non-compliance identified by late August 2025.
The audit chapter does not identify the providers behind those figures. They are system findings and are not attributed to any profile in this archive.

Method and limits
The figures come from Department correspondence to the Public Accounts Committee dated 9 April 2026. They are provisional rankings, not a complete supplier register. Supplier aliases are kept as published. No periods are mixed.
IPAS publishes separate quarterly lists of payments over €20,000. That threshold applies to those quarterly disclosures, not to this top-ten letter.
