More than 30 Ukrainian refugees to be accommodated in €2m Georgian mansion

Ballinafad House in Co Mayo has 37 bedrooms and 16 bathrooms over four floors, while an adjoining priest’s house has 10 bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a reception area, and a living room.

About 35 Ukrainian are set to be accommodated in a €2m Georgian mansion in Co Mayo.

The refugees’ arrival at Ballinafad House had been delayed pending the outcome of a fire safety risk assessment, but Mayo County Council said this issue had been resolved and the plan is expected to proceed “very soon”.
