Important to give refugees as much relocation notice as possible but ‘there might not be a way around it’
Mr Varadkar said the Irish initial response to the war was an emergency and humanitarian one.
He said “It’s part of a wider mix. We have a lot of Irish citizens on housing lists too and we have people arriving from other parts of the world as well so we have to see it in the round.” “My feeling is that if people have to be moved, and sometimes they do, it’s important to give them as much notice as possible because particularly if families and children have to move schools, for example, that can be very traumatic.”
Mr Varadkar said: “That’s not desirable at all and it’s not good that families are ever separated, or that people are asked to move from one place to another with short notice and that’s true all year.“So I don’t know the exact details, but I will be in touch with Minister O’Gorman about it and see if there’s anything we can do to make it better.”
