View answerI am advised my officials that the total expenditure by my Department on the provision of accommodation and related costs for Beneficiaries of Temporary Protection since February 2022, as of 10 January 2024, is just under €1,996m which is on average approximately €100m per month.
These figures include direct food and board costs incurred by my Department in accommodating Ukrainian beneficiaries of temporary protection, as well as other costs such as Local Authority emergency accommodation costs, the City West processing hub, transport, facilities management, IT and other expenditure.
