"HOUSEHOLDS IN Ireland who take in Ukrainian refugees are to be given a €400
monthly payment under plans approved by government this week.
The cabinet subcommittee on Ukraine signed off on a recognition payment with
the tissue going to a full Cabinet meeting on Tuesday.
The payment will apply to all households regardless of whether it is a large
house or an apartment.
Legislation will be need to be passed to process the payment which could take a
few months.
About 26,000 Ukrainians have fled to Ireland since the beginning of the Russian
invasion of Ukraine at the end of February.
600 Ukrainian refugees have already received visas to come to Northern Ireland,
however the total number of refugees who have arrived in the North is not
currently known, with many arriving at Dublin Airport before proceeding to the
north.
New figures show the State has spent more that €16.7 million on emergency
accommodation such as hotels and B&Bs to house people fleeing the war at the
end of last month.
More that 5,000 hotel rooms have been booked by the International Protection
Accommodation Service (IPAS) to accommodate people who have fled since late
February. Other accommodation has been sourced elsewhere."
