I thank the Members of Seanad Éireann for making time today to discuss this motion concerning the order I propose to make to extend the termination date of the financial contribution scheme for hosts of temporary protection beneficiaries from Ukraine, known as the accommodation recognition payment, ARP, scheme. The ARP scheme will be included in the transfer of functions. The ARP scheme has been a wonderful initiative.
A cost-benefit analysis of the ARP scheme should be conducted. I support the extension of the ARP and the scheme. I welcome the extension of the ARP scheme.
