flag Ireland to cut Ukrainian refugees’ housing stay from 90 to 30 days due to housing strain and funding cuts.

flag Ireland will shorten the stay for Ukrainian refugees in state housing from 90 to 30 days, citing rising arrivals linked to eased travel rules for young Ukrainian men and strain on housing and funding. flag Over 114,000 Ukrainians have arrived since 2022 under the EU’s Temporary Protection Directive, with about 80,000 remaining. flag The government spent nearly €1 billion on refugee accommodation in 2024, with funding cut by €170 million in 2025. flag Critics warn the change may increase homelessness, as finding alternative housing in 30 days is seen as unrealistic. flag The decision, approved by a cabinet sub-committee, aims to manage resources amid ongoing challenges.
