A "disproportionate" number of Ukrainian refugees and International Protection applicants are being housed in working class areas compared to wealthy areas, new figures reveal.
Newly released Department of Integration figures show there are 3,335 refugees in Tallaght while there are just 51 in Dublin 6. The trend appears to be similar across Dublin
Social Democrat TD Gary Gannon, who obtained the figures, called on the Government to accommodate refugees more equally across the city. He said: "In Dublin 24 – which encompasses Tallaght and South West Dublin – there are a combined 3,335 Ukrainian refugees and IPAS applicants being housed. However, in Dublin 6, there are just 51 Ukrainian refugees.
