The 30 people living on the grounds of the Lissywollen site must leave by November 7th.
International protection applicants have been moved off the site of a Westmeath IPAS centre for "the foreseeable future" after a decision by the High Court on Friday.
Councillors in Westmeath are describing the judgement as their "most significant win yet" in their long running campaign to stop the State from delivering a 1,000 capacity person centre in Lissywollen.
The judgement requires the 30 current residents to leave the site by November 7th.
While Fianna Fail Councillor for Athlone Aengus O'Rourke says the government has once again missed its deadline for producing fresh legislation to address environmental issues around the plans.
He says he has no faith the legislation will be ready in November either.
