Mr. Michael Kirrane:

On what €6,000 will cover, the best estimate we have is that it provides for the first six months of accommodation for those who come. We are working with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform on the overall cost for the Department in respect of the provision of this service. This includes accommodation, resources to process and so on. Other Departments, whether the Department Education and Skills, the Department of Health or local authorities, are working on the cost of their elements. We are getting good support from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in regard to our Estimates discussions around this because it is recognised that additional resources are needed to make this happen.
