THE PORTREE HOTEL AUGUST 2021 24/08/2021

The Portree in Waterford is no longer available for public bookings because it has undergone a significant transformation, converting into an International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) centre. This change is confirmed by multiple sources. A Reddit comment from nine months prior explicitly stated, "It is a refugee centre. Ipas centre now". This information is further corroborated by a news report from WLRFM.com dated December 14, 2022, which detailed that the "Portree Guesthouse to house those seeking international protection" and was "being converted into a refugee centre on an initial 12-month contract".
