The number of housing contracts for those escaping the conflict in Ukraine will be decreased by the government, reports The Mirror.
Rodric O’Gorman, the head of the Green Party and Integration Minister, made the announcement. As a result of the decision, both locals and visitors will have access to numerous hotels in cities and villages around the nation.
A “decrease in numbers needing accommodation, compliance concerns, value for money, and greater oversight of the portfolio,” according to the minister, are some of the reasons behind the action.
He added: “My Department has decided to prioritise ending contracts with non-compliant providers as part of this consolidation. This includes ending contracts where the Fire Safety Assessment Documentation has not been submitted within the required timeframe. In terms of moving people every effort is being made Beneficiaries Of Temporary Protection (BOTPs) as local as possible,” reports The Mirror.
“However, given the number of moves that are taking place, this is not always possible. Due to the scale involved the only factors that can be considered when allocating follow-on accommodation are HSE-assessed medical needs. It is not possible to take other issues such as employment or school places into account when allocating follow-on accommodation, and people will be encouraged to make their own arrangements if they wish to stay in the current area,” reports The Mirror.
