The Government has confirmed it has paid €976m on Ukraine accommodation and related costs since the Russian invasion in 2022.

The Department of Integration has said it has recently paid €30 Million per week to provide accommodation to people from Ukraine.

It also said it is focused on paying accommodation providers facing financial difficulty.

A large number of these hostels, hotels and other types of accommodation in Donegal make up the 770 contractors providing accommodation are paid by the Department of Integration each month.

RTE reports that the department will tell an Oireachtas committee today that there have been understandable frustrations from accommodation providers over delays in payments.

It said older invoices are now being prioritised and it has outsourced some functions to clear the backlog.

Seven hundred rapid-build homes will soon be able to house up to 2,800 people in family units.

There have been 1,370 offers of commercial properties received by the department since the end of January.

The average number of people arriving in Ireland each day from Ukraine is 88 and the Government believes that as the conflict develops, people will continue to seek refuge in Ireland.

More than 61,000 people from Ukraine have been provided with accommodation by the Department of Integration over the last 14 months.
