Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 24 March 2022
48. Deputy Jennifer Whitmore asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth the number of Ukrainian refugees, adults and children who have been taken in by county; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15102/22]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware, my Department is currently offering accommodation to Ukrainian refugees who need accommodation.
The situation remains fluid, with initial accommodation being offered via hotels and similar facilities. It is envisaged that people will move from these settings as more suitable accommodation comes on stream. As this time, a county-by-county is not available.
However, I can confirm that since 25 February to 21 March a total of 4,664 Ukrainian nationals have arrived in Ireland, this is comprised of 3,049 adults and 1,615 children.
