Cabinet committee heard the State’s provision of services should ‘more closely align’ with the approach of other EU member states
Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth Roderic O’Gorman and Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage Darragh O’Brien.
A Cabinet committee on Ukraine has been told that Ireland’s pipeline of suitable premises is not at a scale sufficient to meet projected demand. The committee also heard that the State’s provision of services should “more closely align” with the approach of other EU member states, many of which set a time limit on accommodation for refugees.
If the current system is to change, it will require a great deal of nuance and sensitivity to the specific needs of vulnerable people who have travelled thousands of miles in search of safety. Children, parents and the elderly form a large proportion of those who have fled the war in Ukraine. They have usually been warmly welcomed into communities across the country. Any new system must seek to maintain that good record.
