Who we are

Accommodation Centre operators in Ireland.

Founded in 2018, Townbe is now one of the largest Accommodation Centre operators in Ireland. Our centres are supported by an on-site management team whose purpose is to facilitate the resident's needs and administer front of house and back office functions as required in every Accommodation Centre.

Our contracts for accommodation services are with the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (previously contracted with the Department of Justice).

What we offer

3 Accommodation Centre models

Catered centre

These accommodation centres provide the residents with daily meals prepared by our in-house chefs. Meals are tailored to suit the cultural and dietary requirements of our residents through continuous engagement with the chefs.

This model works temporarily as an emergency accommodation centre or until the centre transitions to the self-catering accommodation model.

Self-catering centres

This model allows the residents to obtain food and other products for personal use from our on-site shop using a cashless points system designed by IPAS. Residents prepare and cook their meals in our self-catering kitchens using
store-bought ingredients.

Independent living houses

Independent living houses give families the privacy and space necessary for a regular day to day family activities.
