Amharc ar fhreagraMy 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.
