Ukrainian refugees in Ireland to be accommodated in tents

In Ireland, starting next week, Ukrainian refugees might be accommodated in tents due to a shortage of housing, which the government has called significant. Source: European Pravda, referring to RTE Details: The Department of Integration noted in its statement that during the summer months, the number of people fleeing the war in Ukraine increased.

Since 1 May, over 10,000 Ukrainians have arrived in Ireland, an average of about 650 people a week.

Quote: "Due to this significant shortage, it is expected that from next week, tented accommodation will be used for new arrivals from Ukraine," the statement said. The housing shortage led to a decrease in free student accommodation units, which housed about 5,000 Ukrainians in the summer. However, at this moment, many students are returning to college.
