The Deputy is correct. Ireland has welcomed more than 103,000 arrivals from Ukraine with 76,000 people currently living in State-provided accommodation, of whom 58,000 are in fully serviced accommodation. Ireland has welcomed 2.3% of those fleeing Ukraine who have come to the EU since the war, which is a significant response, and, as we know, people continue to come. A Government decision was made to amend the support and accommodation provided and that will more closely align us with other member states. We will, of course, continue to meet Ireland's obligations under the temporary protection directive. This will bring us in line with our EU colleagues. That is what we have decided to do.
