The Ukrainian community in the hotel, including up to 40 school-going children received less than 48-hours notice that they are to be bussed to Westport on Wednesday.
The Minister told RTÉ radio’s News at One that the situation arose because of “significant pressure” on accommodation that had grown in recent times. Mr O’Gorman said he understood that the Ukrainian families had become integrated into the community in Killarney and that efforts were being made through Kerry County Council and NGOs to find alternative local pledged accommodation for the mothers and their children.
A meeting took place at the hotel on Monday night at the hotel attended by Fine Gael TD Brendan Griffin, the asylum seeker representative body KASI, and school principals as well as Ukrainian representatives.
It's a temporary protection measure, they have no right to anything here bar refuge
Thoughts and prayers with them. They'll probably be happy to go back to Ukraine once they experience Mayo....
I'm curious, some articles are saying the women have jobs. Are they contributing to their accomodation costs ? They should be, and if so, don't they have the right to security of tenure.
Didn't the opposite happen in Kinnegad not so long ago, Asylum seekers kicked our if a hotel to accommodate 🇺🇦 refugees and not a peep about it. Whilst I sympathise, this excuse children have integrated seems very odd , aren't these 🇺🇦 refugees supposed to be here temporarily 🤔
