My Department and all Government will continue to engage with the Deputy and the other Drogheda TDs about supporting the immediate needs within Drogheda of the business community and looking to support the move of other hotels back into the tourism sector. The Deputy is absolutely right about the difficulties the current approach necessitates whether it is the use of hotel accommodation or tented accommodation. That is why next Wednesday at Cabinet we will be bringing forward the revised accommodation strategy, looking to move away from this approach where we are entirely reliant on the private sector, looking at providing a key core of State-owned accommodation which can help us meet the needs of international protection applicants.
