Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 8 May 2024
448. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth if payments due to a company for the provision of accommodation (details supplied) will be paid immediately; if a designated official will be appointed to contact each company directly to resolve any issues that may be delaying the payments due, and if he will expedite the matter. [20424/24]
View answerI am informed that officials in my Department have been in contact with the accommodation provider in question with regard to required adjustments to invoices to take due account of occupancy, agreed rates and contractual terms. The provider should be encouraged to contact my Department to conclude this matter. I can assure the Deputy that every effort is made to pay without delay all of the accommodation providers who have assisted my Department in this unprecedented response to the needs of Ukrainians granted temporary protection in Ireland.
