Ukraine War
Dail Éireann — 2022-11-17
============================================================

Roderic O'Gorman (GP), Dublin West

The Deputy is right that it is good for us to be clear on these things. I accept that there is a challenge for the tourism industry here. I absolutely understand it. We are looking to diversify where we are accommodating displaced persons from Ukraine. That is why we are bringing modular accommodation, vacant homes and the refurbishment of homes into play. That will operate to support diversification and a move away from the reliance on hotel accommodation. Work in this regard is ongoing. It is important to remember that the reason this pressure is being put on the tourism sector and other sectors is because women and children are dying in Ukraine each day. All over Europe, there is pressure happening as a result of this war.
