He said he had been asked by the Department for Children to contact the GAA, IRFU and Sport Ireland seeking short-term accommodation, following a report in the Business Post, according to RTÉ. The Irish government is under increasing pressure to provide accommodation for Ukrainian refugees. About 3,500 Ukrainian refugees living in student accommodation will have to leave in the coming weeks as students return to college. More than 43,000 Ukrainian refugees have arrived in the Republic of Ireland and there are expected to be around 50,000 by mid-August. Speaking to RTÉ, Nasc’s chief executive of the Migrant and Refugee Rights Center said hosting people in sports venues not designed for accommodation should be a “measure of last resort”. Fiona Hurley said the majority of people who escaped the war were mainly women, children and vulnerable adults and it was difficult to ensure proper protection procedures in places like these. Earlier this month, a number of Ukrainian refugees were hosted at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, but have since been moved to alternative accommodation.
