The first batch of modular homes to house Ukrainians will be ready at the end of May
THE FIRST BATCH of modular homes to house Ukrainians will be ready at the end of May, Government sources have said.
The Journal reported last week that only seven sites for modular homes to accommodate families fleeing the war in Ukraine have been found so far by the state, with no units yet completed.The plans for the sites, which are spread across the country, are part of the government’s humanitarian efforts to the Ukrainian crisis.
Asked by The Journal about the lack of progress at a press conference this week, the Taoiseach said he was concerned that the Government had fallen behind on its targets.“I do have concern that we’ve fallen behind on that target. We’ll be taking that up today,” he said.A number of issues are understood to have arisen on sites where modular homes are to be located, such as sewers having to be relocated and ESB connection issues.
He said modular homes for refugees, as well as a form of construction that might help ease the housing crisis, has been discussed for months now.
