View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 1403 and 1404 together.
As at 31 December 2023, there were over 58,600 beneficiaries of temporary protection (BOTPs) occupying accommodation that is managed or contracted by my Department. Data at county and local authority level on numbers in receipt of such State funded accommodation under my Department’s remit is published regularly on the Government’s website – gov.ie - Accommodation of Beneficiaries of Temporary Protection (BOTPs) (www.gov.ie).
