My Department currently contracts approximately 6,200 rooms in hotels, guesthouses and B&Bs in use for refugees arriving from Ukraine. This equates to a capacity of approximately 16,300 beds. The Deputy should note that this number only includes rooms in hotels, guesthouses and B&Bs so excludes other accommodation types.

Please see the table below for the breakdown by county, as requested, for the number of hotels, guesthouses and Bed & Breakfasts that are being used to accommodate Ukraine refugees directly by my Department.
