‘They are not listening to us at all’: Tensions between Ukrainian refugees and hotel management over food
In recent weeks the Department of Integration introduced new rules where Ukrainian refugees would be charged for meals in hotel and guest house accommodation contracted by the State, at €10 a day for adults and €5 a day per child.
“When we started to pay, when we were talking to people from other hotels, we realised they have more, have fruit, yoghurts,” she said. Ms Krasnova, who is originally from the city of Kharkiv, said he fled the war with Russia and came to Ireland last June.Initially she said she was housed in student accommodation in Maynooth University. She was moved, along with her husband and sister to The Address hotel in Citywest last July.
In a statement, a spokesman for the hotel said it had been providing accommodation to Ukrainians fleeing the war since last July.
