Sport Ireland sought assurances refugees would not be left 'without a roof over their heads' 

A team training session at the National Indoor Arena in Abbotstown, Dublin. Sport Ireland said they would have to have the indoor arena back by mid-October for its sporting schedule.

Sport Ireland sought assurances that new housing would be available for refugees who they accommodated at the National Indoor Arena so that the organisation would not be portrayed as “leaving them with no roof over their heads” when the facility was no longer available.

In correspondence with the Department of Children and Equality, Sport Ireland’s CEO Dr Una May said they were happy to make the Dublin venue available for six weeks to help with a dire shortage of accommodation.
