933. Deputy Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth to provide a breakdown of the number of beneficiaries of temporary protection that are accommodated in modular units, pledged accommodation and Department-supported accommodation, respectively, in tabular form.

View answerThe information requested has been extracted from our systems and is outlined in tabular form as follows. I should also point out to the Deputy that these figures provide an overview at a point in time and are 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.

With regard to pledged accommodation, almost 22,000 BOTPs have been placed in 8,695 properties pledged to the Irish Red Cross and the ‘Offer a Home’ appeal operated by Local Authorities under the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, since the schemes launched in 2022. A figure for the number of BOTPs currently accommodated in such properties is not available.
