It is not possible to provide or estimate the sum of money sought by the Deputy in relation to suspected overpayment in the first six months of 2024 for accommodation providers for Beneficiaries of Temporary Protection (BOTPs) due to ongoing investigations. In relation to accommodation providers for International Protection (IPs) applicants, IPAS have not identified any cases of overpayments made to accommodation providers through site inspections in the first six months of 2024.
