472. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth the number of meals that are served each day at Citywest to persons from Ukraine who are currently staying there as beneficiaries of temporary protection; if these are all accounted for with the Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerMy officials have confirmed that the number of meals served to Beneficiaries of Temporary Protection (BOTPs) staying in Citywest Hotel is approximately 4,000 per day. Residents contribute €10 per adult and €5 per child per day and are provided with three meals daily. I can confirm that BOTPs are required to check in outside the food hall before gaining access to ensure they are entitled to meals.
