The €400 payment for households taking in Ukrainian refugees could be ready to be paid as early as next week, the Irish Examiner understands. High-level Government talks are at an advantaged stage to pay people who take in Ukrainian refugees and it is understood that the €400 per month payment will be per household irrespective of how many Ukrainian people have been taken into the home. Minister for Social Protection Heather Humphreys said on Wednesday that talks are continuing. “There are a number of issues where we need [to be] clear on before we need to announce it,” Ms Humphrey added. The Examiner reported last week that more than 1,000 people have withdrawn their initial offer of accommodation for Ukrainian refugees.
