Mr. David Delaney:

I am not sure whether I will answer the Deputy's question correctly. He should feel free to clarify whether I have got it right. The Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth looks after the accommodation aspect. I understand it currently has approximately 20,000 people accommodated under the international protection process. Of that number, 5,200 or 5,300 people have permission to reside in the State, whether in the form of refugee status, subsidiary protection or permission to remain. As a ballpark figure then, approximately a quarter of those currently being accommodated have a permission to be in the State. The remaining 14,000-odd are currently in different phases of the international protection process, whether engaging with the International Protection Office or the International Protection Appeals Tribunal or further on in the process, such as at the permission to remain review stage. Does that answer the Deputy's question?
