New legislation introduced this week will mean that anyone fleeing the war in Ukraine, who registers for temporary protection, will be accommodated for a maximum of 90 days in a designated accommodation centre. The new arrivals will be entitled to a reduced weekly allowance of €38.80 per adult and €29.80 per child for daily expenses while resident there. The changes will not affect people from Ukraine who arrived before this policy came into force.
While most pledged accommodations are run by the IRC or another NGO, the body says that private equivalents could proliferate but without Garda vetting or property checks that take place through official pledge programme providers. “This carries increased risks of exploitation of vulnerable people, who may have no other options but to enter into such arrangements,” an analysis of the new policy by the IRC sent to Mr O’Gorman states.
“This policy risks undermining the -funded IRC’s pledged-accommodation programme,” according to the document, which urges a flexible approach to the 90-day policy rule. It warns of risks to those fleeing the war, in particularly vulnerable groups, including older or disabled people, those with mental health issues, minorities and those who came as minors but have turned 18.
