The figures compare with Laois: 273 total (112 male; 161 female; 113 minors)
and Carlow: 163 total (68 male; 95 female; 52 minors)
Dublin has the highest number of BOTPs being accommodated: 3572 total (1532 male; 2040 female; 944 minors)
Longford has the lowest number of BOTPs being accommodated, with 66 in total (18 male; 48 female; 21 minors.)
The number of BOTPs in short term accommodation is taken from the ePass bed management system which the Department states “may be underestimated due to delays in feedback of movement of BOTPs.”

In terms of longer term accommodation for BOTPs (nationwide), the total number of people who have completed moves into pledged accommodation is: 13,671 as of July 27 2025.
