PRIVATE companies have won contracts worth more than €182m to run asylum seeker accommodation centres, an Irish Independent investigation reveals.
New records show how the slow pace of Ireland's asylum process has proved a cash cow for a small number of companies who secured major state contracts.
With some asylum cases taking up to six years to finalise, the business of providing applicants with food and shelter has been a lucrative one.
The revelations come just weeks after a Department of Justice value-for-money report found that state-owned accommodation was costing the taxpayer less per person than privately owned operations.
