Government to introduce 'refusal policy' for Ukrainian refugees in hotels offered other accommodation

An incorporeal Cabinet meeting is to be held this afternoon to sign off on a number of these new measures to deal with the refugee accommodation crisis.It comes as Government rallies to find additional housing after a number of refugees from Ukraine and other countries could not be accommodated last weekend due to the Citywest facility reaching capacity.

“There’s been a constant challenge there, because, understandably, if people are in a hotel with a group, they find some comfort in that, and are more reluctant to move into a single house. And that’s been a feature. So these are issues that we have to deal with now, in terms of trying to create greater capacity within the accommodation that we’ve already secured,” said the Taoiseach.

Varadkar said it is likely that the tourism sector next spring and summer will not be as good as hoped.
