Some 94,000 Ukrainians have arrived into the country and 70,000 are being directly accommodated by the State. There is always a gap between those here and those we are accommodating. At the moment, around 550 are arriving per week. That gave me the figure I spoke to earlier about 80,000 being accommodated by the end of the year. I am not sure if the figure of 110,000 the Deputy quoted relates to 31 December next or a date in 2024. I am not sure if it refers to people who have been accommodated or who are here.
