Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 January 2024
545. Deputy Alan Kelly asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth the breakdown of the number of Ukrainian refugees housed in Ireland by the Government and international protection applicants, respectively housed in Ireland, by county, in tabular form. [3026/24]
Amharc ar fhreagraIreland is currently accommodating more than 100,000 people between those fleeing Ukraine and International Protection (IP) applicants. This includes almost 75,000 Ukrainian people who have sought accommodation from the State and over 26,000 IP applicants currently in International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) accommodation.
Intensive efforts are being undertaken daily by Department officials to source emergency accommodation. However, procuring enough bed space to keep pace with incoming arrivals remains extremely challenging.
My Department publishes regular information on the accommodation of Beneficiaries of Temporary Protection by local authority, and this can be found at: gov.ie - Topics & Content BOTPs Accommodated by County and by LA (cloud.gov.ie)
