Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 October 2025
426. Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration to detail, per venue and by county, the number of beds for accommodating Ukrainians in receipt of temporary protection which the State has contracted for in each month of 2025 to date, and the corresponding occupancy number for each of those venues for each month listed, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53436/25]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs of 30 September, the total number of BOTPs in State-contracted accommodation is 21,783. Currently contracted accommodation capacity includes beds in hotels, guesthouses, B&Bs, hostels, self-catering accommodation and certain other repurposed settings.
My department does not publicly detail the number of beds, occupancy or contracted capacity of accommodation centres in the interest of the privacy and security of residents and providers.
The tables at the link below set out the number of active contracts in each county and the total number of Beneficiaries of Temporary Protection in each county for each month of 2025 thus far.
In addition, my department regularly publishes information at County and Local Authority level on the gov.ie website; [Accommodation of Beneficiaries of Temporary Protection (BOTPs)].
I would like to note to the Deputy that the figures below do not account for Beneficiaries of Temporary Protection in 90-day Designated Accommodation Centres (DACs). Information in respect of this accommodation can be found at: www.gov.ie/en/department-of-justice-home-affairs-and-migration/publications/designated-accommodation-centres/
