Dr. Walter Stanley:

To be very clear, it has not. One of the things we must recognise is that some of the resources of local authorities have been utilised, as Ms Hayes has just outlined, to support the relevant Department to try to find additional accommodation. It might have put some additional pressure on providing emergency accommodation but with even that, it is not there.

In terms of people experiencing homelessness, there is in my view and from what I have seen from talking to the Simon Communities across the country, there is nobody who is in homeless emergency accommodation because we took in people from Ukraine. I can put it as strongly and as clearly as that.
