943. To ask the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth the number of additional staff who were allocated to his Department to deal with the recent increased intake of asylum seekers; if those staff are still working within his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 942 and 943 together.

There are a total of 136 staff assigned to units in the Ukraine Division. This includes staff recruited from the Public Appointments Service, staff internally reassigned from within my Department, Ukrainian Temporary Clerical Officers and staff on secondment or temporary assignment from other departments/bodies.
