Ministers to discuss State’s ongoing humanitarian response to war in Ukraine as Government examines ‘all options’ to tackle accommodation crisis
Separate discussions are under way between the Department of Children and the Department of Justice to try to find a way to move international protection applicants who have permission to remain into the private rented sector.
Ministers will discuss options to address the projected shortfall in accommodation during Tuesday’s meeting. The department will also be seeking immediate access to buildings from other departments to address looming shortages in accommodation for those arriving. Between four and six buildings are needed. These would be put into almost immediate use in the coming weeks as temporary rest facilities for those arriving and seeking shelter.
