Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth

I can inform the Deputy that an allocation policy has been developed and approved for the allocation of beneficiaries of temporary protection to the rapid build units. Priority criteria are being applied in allocating the units, prioritising families of four located in the county / counties close to the site. My Department will make decisions on assignments to the accommodation based on the priority criteria. The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) is assisting my Department in contacting families with a view to confirming their suitability and arranging moves to these new modular homes.
