Newly arrived Ukrainian migrants may have their time in State accommodation cut substantially while those already in State accommodation could face relocations. These “immediate” measures are under consideration amid fears the Government is going to “exhaust” its capacity to house people by the end of next month. The Government would also refuse to accommodate anyone coming to Ireland from Ukraine via a second country, or who had previously been granted temporary protection in another European member state. The measures are being considered because of an increase in recent weeks in the number of people fleeing the war who have been granted temporary protection here. And Ireland would “refuse to provide accommodation to beneficiaries of temporary protection who arrive from secondary movement and have previously held temporary protection in another member state”, the briefing says.
