I understand that the Local Authority is examining possible ways to bring a premises back into use in the area, including for use as a community hotel. The Deputy will be advised of progress as it is made.
As previously stated, a whole of government humanitarian response to the war in Ukraine and the increase in those seeking International Protection is ongoing, and a range of measures have been put in place to respond to local need and the potential pressures on services.
At a sectoral level, individual Departments have put in place processes to ensure there are systems to allow an appropriately targeted response to increased demands at local level.
These include additional resources and processes to support Education; Health; investment in local community facilities (Community Recognition Fund) and additional funding for communities through the Social Inclusion Community Activation Programme.
