Brendan Griffin (FG), Kerry

First, I convey my thanks and congratulations to Noel Murphy and wish him and his family the very best for the future.
I acknowledge the unprecedented effort that has been made over the past 13 months or so in accommodating refugees fleeing the atrocious war in Ukraine.
Tens of thousands of people have been accommodated here. I have been asked by a number of accommodation providers in my constituency to again highlight the fact that those providing accommodation for Ukrainian refugees are not being paid. This has resulted in a number of providers having their credit ratings affected. The overheads have increased significantly, yet the financial compensation is not coming in to help to pay the bills. Will the Tánaiste and the Minister redouble their efforts to address this problem?
