Amharc ar fhreagra142. Deputy Danny Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth the number of Ukrainian refugees in the Killarney area; the breakdown of the number for other towns in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [56787/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 141 and 142 together.
Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and the activation of the Temporary Protection Directive immediately afterwards, approximately 60,000 people from Ukraine have sought refuge here in Ireland, with about three quarters of those being provided with accommodation from the State. The scale of the response to this crisis has been unprecedented and Irish people have displayed a commendable level of generosity in their support, in their welcome for beneficiaries into their communities, and in pledges of accommodation.
Below is a table extracted from our records showing Beneficiaries of Temporary Protection accommodated by my Department in Kerry, within our remit to provide suitable temporary accommodation. Although not all providers have completed the "town" field, where a town is stated this has been entered.
The table below relates only to those accommodated by my Department and does not include all Ukrainian refugees. For further information I can refer the Deputy to the website of the Central Statistics Office where further information and regional breakdowns are available.
