Ms Sheenagh Rooney:

As for the Deputy's query, to add to what our colleagues in the local authority sector have said about moves, the challenge is that there are 84,000 people here. Some 20,000 of them have made their own way and over 10,000 people are in Offer a Home or Red Cross. We have an accommodation portfolio and sometimes we lose contracts. We try to be very mindful of the impacts on those in these accommodation centres when they have to be moved. We engage with the local authority to ensure that any moves that can happen at a local level do happen. We also try to communicate with the beneficiaries of temporary protection who are in these facilities in advance on what the plans are. In a number of centres, we are very proactive about trying to engage with those who are in these centres on taking up pledges in the local area where they can remain in schools and employment. In summary, we do not take moves lightly nor the impact of them. We are very conscious of that. We do all we can to minimise them but sometimes when we are dealing with these issues, we have to think about the 500 people who will arrive next week as well as the people who are here. We have to make sure we have enough accommodation for everyone.
