My question is very direct. Will the Minister clarify the number of persons who have arrived in Ireland to date under the Afghan admissions programme and her plans to ensure that all promised 500 places will be filled given that as late as 22 November 2022 not a single approval had been given?

It has changed slightly since then. Up to 22 November, no decisions had issued, notwithstanding the fact that the programme will have been in existence for a year on 16 December next.
