Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 20 November 2025
518. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration the total number of receipt hosts and persons benefitting from accommodation under the accommodation recognition payment, by county; the number of new entrants into the scheme each month since January 2023; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [65038/25]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Accommodation Recognition Payment (ARP) is a monthly payment of €600 available to those providing accommodation to a person or people who arrived in Ireland under the EU Temporary Protection Directive.
Since the scheme launched in July 2022 to 16 November 2025, over €395m has been paid to almost 26,800 recipients in respect of hosting over 61,300 temporary protection beneficiaries. As of 16 November 2025, over 17,500 hosts are accommodating almost 41,400 temporary protection beneficiaries in approx. 23,100 properties supported by the ARP.
A statistical summary of current claim activity by county is provided in the attachment below.
The information sought by the Deputy in relation to new entrants to the scheme each month since January 2023 is not available in the format requested and it is not readily available within the timeframe allowed. I will write to the Deputy directly with further statistical information once it is to hand.
