I welcome the Secretary General and his colleagues. There are 5,980 people in accommodation centres and 517 in hotels, totalling 6,497. I believe Mr. O'Driscoll stated that these figures had probably increased. The growth figures outlined in his opening statement are significant. He stated that Ireland had committed to receiving 4,000 persons under the refugee protection programme. How many are anticipated in 2019?
