Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 June 2024
632. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth the number of BOTS recipients and IPA applicants, by Dáil constituency from January 2023 to date, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24976/24]
View answerThe data requested by the Deputy is not collated on the basis of Dáil Constituencies and cannot be provided.
My Department releases data by county and local authority area in relation to Beneficiaries of Temporary Protection (BOTPs) in DCEDIY provided accommodation regularly since February 2023. This information is available on the Government website
www.gov.ie/en/publication/9ac7b-accommodation-of-beneficiaries-of-temporary-protection-botps/
Further information with respect to BOTPs is published by the CSO on an anonymised basis as part of its Arrivals from the Ukraine series:
www.cso.ie/en/statistics/population/arrivalsfromukraineinireland/arrivalsfromukraineinirelandarchive2024/
Information at County and Local Authority level as of 5 June 2024 has been extracted from our systems and is outlined in tabular form below. Please note that the below table refers to BOTPs in DCEDIY provided accommodation only. I should point out to the Deputy that that these figures provide an overview at a point in time and is contingent on a number of factors that are subject to change including accommodation availability, providers in contract at any given time, configurations, transfers resulting from contracts ceasing.

In relation to International Protection applicants, my Department does not routinely collect the data requested by the Deputy, and the data is therefore not available. My Department releases statistics in relation to International Protection (IP) applicants and accommodation:
www.gov.ie/en/publication/07027-ipas-statistics/
The latest weekly report containing County and LA figures for IP applicants is available online at the following link:
