It is policy. Has accommodation been procured? If there are additional requirements, how is it found? I know that it is spread throughout the country and we have done our bit in Carlow and Kilkenny. I am from Kilkenny and we have allocated houses to Syrian families, in particular. Do we have accommodation for them? Who paid for it? Was it the Department of Justice and Equality or the local authorities? From where does the money come for the houses given out? Who pays the rent? I presume the houses are rented from landlords. Who pays the fit-out and maintenance costs? I want to know who pays for what when refugees are taken in.
