Mr. John McKeon:

Can I say something else about the financial incentive? People use comparisons and the comparison that is quite often used is with Belgium, where they just pay €30 or €40 per week. They pay €30 or €40 per week to a person who is in serviced accommodation. They pay €1,200 per month to a person who is not in serviced accommodation, which is in line with us, so what the Government has decided to do, and I think this is fair, is that where somebody is in serviced accommodation, the payment should reflect the value of the serviced accommodation. That is the primary purpose. We know that of the 80,000 Ukrainian refugees who are still in the country, roughly 50,000 are in serviced accommodation while 30,000 are not and have made other accommodation arrangements. It is fair that the latter group continues to get the €220 per week. If you are in serviced accommodation and are getting laundry and food, it is reasonable and that is what other countries have done.
