View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 662 and 663 together.
A detailed breakdown of the budgetary allocations in my Department following the recent transfer of functions from the Department of Children, Disability and Equality (DCDE), can be found in the Revised and Further Revised Estimates Volumes for the Public Service.
These documents are published by the Department of Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation at the following link - www.gov.ie/en/department-of-public-expenditure-infrastructure-public-service-reform-and-digitalisation/collections/the-revised-estimates-volumes-for-the-public-service/
Funding previously provided to DCDE from the Contingency Reserve Fund which related to International Protection Accommodation Services and Ukraine, transferred to my Department as part of the transfer of functions. The total transfer pertaining to contingency funding in 2025 was €1,760m, which continues to be used to meet costs associated with providing emergency accommodation supports for beneficiaries of temporary protection who have fled the war in Ukraine and applicants for International Protection in Ireland.
