Concerns Rise Over Evictions of Ukrainian Refugees in Ireland

Support groups for Ukrainian refugees in Ireland are sounding alarms over new accommodation policies leading to evictions. Since October, a strict absence policy has resulted in Ukrainians being removed from hotel accommodations for unapproved departures. Advocates argue that many refugees are unaware of the stringent rules, with heartbreaking cases reported, including those needing urgent medical treatment. The Department of Integration insists this policy is necessary to avoid empty beds, but critics call for increased transparency and more compassionate considerations in granting leave. The number of Ukrainians in such accommodations has significantly decreased, raising further concerns.
