QUESTION NO. 26

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

To ask the Chief Executive how SDCC can provide housing and accommodation to Ukrainian refugees?

REPLY:

The Government is currently providing accommodation to Ukrainian refugees through the International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) with the oversight of the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (DCEDIY).  Housing supports are not being directly provided by this Council at this stage, but we are supporting DCEDIY and IPAS as required in their ongoing work to provide accommodation.
