The Accommodation Recognition Payment (ARP) is a monthly payment of €800 available to those who are providing accommodation to a person or people who arrived in Ireland under the EU Temporary Protection Directive.

The information that the Deputy has requested in relation to the “amount paid to date, by local electoral area” is not available as this data is not collected. From the Scheme’s launch on 26 July 2022 to 24 February 2025, approximately €256 million has been paid to almost 22,500 hosts nationwide in respect of almost 51,000 Beneficiaries of Temporary Protection (BOTPs) from Ukraine.

The below table provides information related to active claims in counties Wicklow and Wexford.
