Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth

Ireland has provided accommodation to over 99,000 people between those fleeing Ukraine and International Protection (IPs) applicants. This compares with 8,300 in February 2022. This includes over 74,000 Beneficiaries of Temporary Protection (BOTPs) from Ukraine who required State supported accommodation and over 25,000 International Protection applicants currently in IPAS accommodation.

My Department does not publicly detail the locations of such accommodation centres in the interest of the privacy and security of residents and providers.

The breakdown of the number of BOTPs & IPs by town is set out in the table below. It should be noted that the information provides an overview at a given point in time and is contingent on a number of factors that are subject to change including accommodation availability, providers in contract at any given time, configurations, transfers resulting from contracts ceasing etc. The below table provides a snapshot of the configuration of BOTPs & IPs in Kerry to the extent that our records can provide at this time.
