A €400 payment for households who accommodate Ukrainian refugees is expected to go to Cabinet next week, senior Government sources have indicated.
Social Protection Minister Heather Humphreys is working on the payment with Public Expenditure Minister Michael McGrath and Children’s Minister Roderic O’Gorman.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Minister Humphreys said: “We hope to have something to bring to Government very shortly, we now have a Cabinet sub-committee set up specifically to deal with the Ukrainian crisis and we’ll be feeding everything in through that. It’ll be shortly, very soon.”
