The position is that the UNHCR has identified and proposed to Ireland sufficient cases to fill the balance (261 refugees) of the 2017 refugee resettlement quota (520 refugees). These cases are under consideration at present by the resettlement unit in the Office for the Promotion of Migrant Integration in this Department.
