Refugees arriving into Ireland are being forced to sleep in temporary accommodation after the Citywest reception centre had to close its doors because it was packed.
The Integration Department made the announcement last evening that the hotel being used as the country’s main accommodation centre for arriving refugees from Ukraine was completely full and the gates were effectively closed.
Ireland has welcomed and housed over 58,000 refugees from Ukraine and other countries so far this year. One in four of all hotel beds in the country have been secured by the Government to house refugees since the Ukraine humanitarian crisis began.
