Several companies were paid more than €10 million under State accommodation contracts, figures show

The Government has been under major pressure to accommodate more than 60,000 Ukrainian refugees who fled to the Republic since the Russian invasion of Ukraine last February, as well as 20,000 asylum seekers from other countries.

The second highest paid company, Tetrarch Capital, received at least €34 million to accommodate asylum seekers and Ukrainians, according to department figures. Several were also incorporated as company structures that do not require them to provide details of their internal finances and profits in filed annual financial accounts.

Each company was contacted by The Irish Times, but none responded to contest the calculated figures for the amounts received in payments.
