Ireland ends refugee housing, deports Ukrainians

Ireland has begun winding down its state accommodation program for Ukrainian refugees, leading to mass deportations as contracts are terminated. The Irish Independent reports that more than 90 housing contracts have been ended, forcing Ukrainians to find their own housing or move. Reasons for the program's closure include hotels returning to tourism, owners refusing to renew contracts, and financial problems. This policy shift significantly reduces support for Ukrainian refugees in Ireland.
