There are 1,270 claims locally being made for the Accommodation Recognition Payment (ARP).
The monthly payment is available to those providing accommodation to a person or people who arrived in Ireland under the EU Temporary Protection Directive.
The scheme is provided for under Part 2 of the Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2022 and is administered by the Department of Social Protection.
Local TD Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Justice, the number of beneficiaries of the temporary protection in each local authority area or county in accommodation supported by the accommodation recognition payment.
The minister revealed that there is at present 758 such claims in Cavan and 513 in Monaghan.
As of 9 June 2025, there are some 21,400 active claims in payment in respect of hosting some 39,100 beneficiaries.
Applicants for the Accommodation Recognition Payment are not required to register with the Irish Red Cross Pledge Campaign or the Offer a Home scheme operated by local authorities.
