My Department is continuing to work closely with local authorities and the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (DCEDIY) to identify, refurbish, and bring into use, multi-unit vacant properties that may be suitable and available for accommodation purposes for beneficiaries of temporary protection from Ukraine.
The building referred to in the question was identified a number of months ago as possibly suitable for use in the provision of accommodation for Beneficiaries of Temporary Protection. However, upon further inspection the property has not been included in the current phase of the refurbishment programme. Factors considered in making this determination include the condition of the facility, the associated cost and duration of refurbishment works, location, amenities and access to public transport.
