I propose to take Questions Nos. 983, 1016, 1073 and 1080 together.

As of 22nd April 2022, the latest figures from my Department show that 25,784 PPS numbers have been provided to refugees arriving in Ireland from Ukraine.

Table 1 shows the age and sex breakdown of the refugees arriving in Ireland.

Age Male Female Total
Under 18 4,783 4,563 9,346
18 - 24 501 1,757 2,258
25 - 34 997 3,277 4,274
35 - 44 971 3,914 4,885
45 - 54 502 1,825 2,327
55 - 64 336 1,121 1,457
65 + 330 907 1,237
Total 8,420 17,364 25,784

Income supports are being paid in respect of some 22,597 people. There are approx. 12,900 primary claims with an average of 1.8 people on each claim. There are 5,502 Child benefit claims being paid in respect of 8,248 children. My Department does not have reliable data at the household level available at this time.
