Written answers

The Government have approved the phase out of state-funded accommodation that has been provided to people from Ukraine who arrived pre–March 2024 and have been in receipt of accommodation on an ongoing basis.

Ireland’s state-funded accommodation model for people from Ukraine is in excess of that offered across the EU and is in excess of what is available to other people living in Ireland.

Department officials have confirmed that as of 12 June 2026, no termination notice has been received or issued by my Department with regard to the property referred to by the Deputy.

The changes to the accommodation model will be introduced on a phased basis, with information and support provided to residents.

Ongoing supports for people with particular circumstances that would make it difficult for them to manage in independent accommodation will be provided.

Individuals will be asked to self-declare their need for continued accommodation and provide evidence to support such a requirement, by providing documentary evidence of their circumstances. 

Further information can be found at www.gov.ie/en/department-of-justice-home-affairs-and-migration/campaigns/ukraine-updates-en/ and all updates will be published here in due course.

Those granted Temporary Protection are entitled to make their own private arrangements for accommodation through their own means, using supports provided by the Department of Social Protection.
