Will the Tánaiste give me some definite word for the people who contacted me about providing accommodation for Ukrainians in my constituency both on a commercial and a non-commercial basis? One lady from Grange, Sligo pledged a room last March. She was Garda vetted in the summer. The house was inspected in September. She was asked to install smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms and a fire blanket. She did all of this and she was approved. There is still no word. Somebody from Boyle, County Roscommon, wants to provide 14 places of accommodation on a commercial basis. He applied six months ago. My question this morning is, who do these people contact? Is it the Red Cross, the International Protection Accommodation Services, the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth or the local authority?

If it is a pledge of accommodation on a non-commercial basis, it is the Red Cross. If it is on a commercial basis it is the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth or the local authority. I have had the same experience as the Deputy of people who have pledged accommodation in their own homes or perhaps in a property they own on a non-commercial basis and of people who are offering properties on a commercial basis. They tell me how frustrated they are that they are not getting the level of engagement or of response that they should be getting. I have heard the same stories and they are real. Let us not forget we have accommodated more than 40,000 people. It is not that nothing has been done but it is clear that more offers are being made and we need to take them up. We need to intensify our efforts throughout the Government to make sure it happens.
