LEIXLIP SAYS NO - LEIXLIP MANOR HOTEL Word is spreading in the Leixlip community and on social media that Leixlip Manor Hotel may be acquired or repurposed as an International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) centre. - I have called the Hotel to speak to the Manager, but an automated message asks the caller to wait and then, after several rings, diverts to voicemail - The bookings page on the hotel's website returns a "503 Service Unavailable - No server is available to handle this request." message when you press BOOK NOW - The hotel has reportedly sacked all staff Leixlip Manor and Gardens is an 18th-century historic manor featuring 27 to 30 acres of grounds, a Victorian walled garden, 8 luxury manor house rooms, and 19 courtyard bedrooms. There has been no formal, official confirmation from the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (the department overseeing IPAS) or Kildare County Council explicitly verifying the conversion of Leixlip Manor Hotel into an operational IPAS facility, mirroring similar lack of community consultations across the country over the last decade.
