Ukrainian women and children moved from Kerry to Mayo at short notice

Image: PA Images Image: PA Images OVER 100 UKRAINIAN women and children in a Killarney Hotel since last March have been told they are being moved to Co Mayo tomorrow to make way for almost 200 international protection applicants from City West, Dublin.

Some 16 nationalities are among the 192 males who are seeking international protection, including from Libya, Algeria, Iran and Georgia. They were bussed to Hotel Killarney on Saturday from City West. The Ukrainian residents were informed verbally on Friday night they were being moved and then formally, in writing, on Monday at 3pm.

“We are struggling with the numbers of people coming to the town. We have beds but in Kerry we have in excess now of 5,000 Ukrainian refugees,” Kelleher said.“We need the extra provision in health and other services for the increase in population. We need a temporary increase in GMS to work alongside existing doctors in Killarney.”

The mayor has now written to children’s minister Roderic O’Gorman calling for the decision to be reversed.
