The government and refugee NGOs are “leaving no stone unturned” as they seek new places to house Ukrainian refugees who are currently staying in student accommodation on university campuses.
There are currently around 5,000 Ukrainian refugees staying in student accommodation in Ireland but with university students due to return in September, alternative arrangements are needed.
Around 2,200 of these refugees are set to leave campus accommodation by the end of the month, with the rest due to move in mid-September.
