My position on the issue of housing those seeking international protection and those fleeing Ukraine has been absolutely consistent, namely, that in responding to an international crisis, we must not create a domestic one. Unfortunately, this is clearly what is happening with the accommodation of applicants in a vast number of hotels and bed and breakfast establishments throughout this State. I seek the Minister's views on this matter. I also wish to know the level of engagement he has had with the representative bodies from the tourism sector.
