Over €354m has been spent on providing accommodation for Ukrainian refugees so far this year, Integration Minister Roderic O’Gorman has confirmed.
In response to a parliamentary question from Sinn Féin TD Pa Daly, the Green Minister confirmed that 14,000 rooms have been acquired by the Department of Integration to date.
This included hotels, guesthouses, B&Bs or any other property not owned by an arm of the State that can be used for “short-term accommodation for Beneficiaries of Temporary Protection fleeing the war in Ukraine”.
