Red Cross calls for increase in financial support for people homing Ukrainian refugees

Liam O'Dwyer, Secretary General of the Irish Red Cross, said it was possible that the government monthly support of ā¬400 to pledging households may be reviewed.
The head of the Red Cross in Ireland has said there could be a couple of hundred households still to become available to pledge accommodation to Ukrainian refugees, and suggested the current rate of financial support may increase in the future.
Liam O'Dwyer, Secretary General of the Irish Red Cross, said the pressures of the cost-of-living crisis meant a review of the current level of ā¬400 a month to pledge households was likely in future, with more households still available even as some pledges come to an end.
