An investigation by the Mail on Sunday has raised questions about how water is being supplied to Ryevale House in Leixlip - a property currently used to accommodate female asylum seekers.
According to the newspaper, its reporters allegedly observed a large water tanker filling up from an emergency fire hydrant at a disused filling station near Dunboyne, County Meath, before returning to Ryevale House.
The paper claims the tanker was seen taking thousands of litres of water from the hydrant.
It is unclear exactly what the water is being used for at the property.
The reported incident comes amid ongoing planning disputes over Ryevale House and difficulties with its official water supply.
In March this year, Uisce Éireann said the "unauthorised" planning status of Ryevale House is the reason it has opted not to upgrade the water supply connection.
At the time, Me Liberer, part of a network of companies providing emergency accommodation services to the State, claimed it is forced to pay €2,300 weekly to bring in fresh water by tanker for the 90 residents, due to the lack of a water upgrade.
Speaking to Kfm this morning, Kildare North Social Democrats TD Aidan Farrelly said the claims warrant further investigation.
He said it is an issue that he will raise when Department of Justice Officials attend a PAC meeting in the coming weeks.
