A number of locations in Co Tipperary are being examined by the Directorate of Refugee and Asylum Seekers Services to assess the suitability of accommodation to house asylum-seekers.
It has been confirmed that the North Tipperary village of Borrisoleigh is being considered as a site to relocate refugees.
Sources confirmed that a premises in the centre of the village, the Clodagh Bar, has capacity to house up to 25 people.
No contracts have been signed or negotiated in relation to the relocation. The owner of the premises, Mr Harry Groome, said "We know nothing. We haven't been contacted and haven't entered any contract."
Recently, there have been a number of unconfirmed reports circulating throughout Tipperary about the arrival of asylum-seekers on people's doorsteps.
On Tuesday, it was reported that up to 200 asylum-seekers would be housed at the former St Mary's convent in Carrick-on-Suir.
These reports were denied, and representatives of the owners of the building said they had no intention of selling the property for use as accommodation for asylum-seekers.
