Department of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration

It is my understanding that the State has paid hotels and guesthouses an average of over €460,000 per week to the end of September this year to house asylum seekers in emergency accommodation. According to figures provided by Minister for Justice Charlie Flanagan, the spend on emergency accommodation from January to the end of September totals €18 million – or an average of €462,046 per week. I am writing to you to request the names of the companies who are receiving these payments.
