I thank the Deputy. We are looking to ensure we have and we are looking to gather a line of sight on adequate accommodation for all those who arrive between now and the end of the year, both for international protection and from Ukraine. We also have to recognise the fact that across that time, we may lose accommodation in some areas. Some hotels and other providers may decide not to renew contracts. We have procurement teams on both the Ukraine and international protection sides actively engaged in seeking to secure accommodation.
