Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said that there are currently no plans to cut off supports for Ukrainian refugees in Ireland
TAOISEACH LEO VARADKAR has said that there are currently no plans to cut off supports for Ukrainian refugees in Ireland.
He said that a lot of the Ukrainian refugees currently living in Ireland “barely speak English”, with many of them being single mothers with multiple children.‘Fair, firm and hard’ It comes after Varadkar said that Ireland needed to take a “fair, firm and hard” approach to migration, with rising levels of migration being seen across Europe.
He added that the Government did need to be “firm” against asylum seekers who enter Ireland “with a story that doesn’t stack up”. “I do think we need to improve our communications and that the information that we give communities about what’s happening in their town or area. “Racists and the far-right will blame whatever problem the country is facing on migrants, that’s the way it works, that’s the way they think,” Varadkar said.
Accelerate decision-making process Justice Minister Simon Harris said over the weekend that the decision-making process for people seeking asylum will be accelerated, including the deportation of people who are not granted leave to stay.
