I understand that the Department could not magic-up new buildings or acquire new buildings or whatever and have State-run facilities staffed and up and running in a matter of weeks or even months, but there is a substantial differential. I am looking at the briefing notes that the Department provided. If one looks at the costs for international protection, the figure for 2022 was €326 million. There was an overspend of €108 million on that. The temporary protection one ran in the region of €367 million for the IPS and the outturn for 2022 for Ukrainian accommodation was €514 million. The 2023 figure, which I got just yesterday, for international protection is €394 million. The figure for the Ukraine part of it is €640 million.
