- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: International Protection (30 Apr 2024)
Roderic O'Gorman: I thank the Deputy for her engagement on this issue, about which we have spoken a number of times, and her constituency colleague, the Minister of State, Deputy Noonan, has also been in touch on the issue. In January 2023, through the online offers portal on gov.ie, my Department received a commercial offer of temporary accommodation for beneficiaries of temporary protection fleeing the...

Kathleen Funchion: I thank the Minister. As he knows, we have a number of locations throughout Carlow and Kilkenny and I have no issue or difficulty. I am raising this issue because I share the concerns of the community. It is a fantastic community and there are already a number of Ukrainian families living in the area. It could be argued that the holiday homes there will not be proper, long-term...

Roderic O'Gorman: I thank the Deputy. I recognise that a significant number of Ukrainians are resident across counties Kilkenny and Carlow. I recognise the welcome they have received from communities. Ukrainians are being accommodated in urban and rural areas. People are being accommodated in many different situations all over Ireland.

Kathleen Funchion: I understand there would be a mix or rural and urban accommodation but surely there must be consideration of whether transport and facilities are available. To put it in people's minds, the facility in question is an old equestrian centre, so you can imagine the level of accommodation we will be able to provide. It will certainly not be up to standard. There are also serious issues in...

Roderic O'Gorman: We have converted many types of buildings for use as Ukrainian accommodation. The Deputy has set out her concerns about the use of equestrian facilities but we have done it successfully in Millstreet and in Kill. Those are two areas in which we have converted equestrian accommodation into emergency accommodation in recent times, recognising the scale of our accommodation challenge. I...

Kathleen Funchion: 82. To ask the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth the person or body responsible for the property at a location (details supplied) in County Kilkenny; if it is his Department or the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage; if he is aware that there are enforcement issues regarding this property; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Kathleen Funchion: My question is on an issue about which I know the Minister is aware because we have discussed it a number of times. It is in respect of a property in County Kilkenny that he is aware of and on which he has the details. I am trying to figure out exactly what is the update in relation to it. Is it with the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth or with the...
