I propose to take Questions Nos. 1447 and 1449 together.

Ireland is now accommodating over 100,000 people between those fleeing Ukraine and International Protection (IP) applicants.

At 31 December 2023, there were 26,279 people accommodated across the International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) system as a whole, of whom 143 were located in Co. Longford.

The Department continues to evaluate all offers of accommodation made to it as quickly as possible and welcomes offers from providers who will accommodate IP applicants.

Please see, in tabular format, the number of IPAS centres in Co. Longford, the location of centres and occupancy on 31 December 2023.
