The temporary protection directive expires in March 2025. My colleague, the Minister for Justice, was at a Justice and Home Affairs Council meeting in Brussels at which the issue was discussed. We will move forward on the matter in consultation with our EU partners.

On Deputy Murphy's question, I said it could well be the case that, down the road, we may have to make the decision that everybody in State-provided accommodation, regardless of what date they arrived, will receive a payment of €38.80. That is exactly what I said.

The designated centres will be fully serviced, with all meals and all laundry services provided, together with other supports. Beneficiaries of temporary protection can apply for a medical card. It is a means-tested benefit but they can apply for it.
