Ireland's government plans to end state-funded accommodation for approximately 16,000 Ukrainian citizens within a year. The termination of housing contracts primarily affects men of conscription age. Authorities are offering financial compensation for returning to Ukraine, amounting to €2,500 per person or up to €10,000 per family. This move represents a significant shift in Ireland's policy toward Ukrainian refugees.
