Counties to get support funding based on number of refugees

A family day event organised by Ukrainian Crisis Centre Ireland in Mountjoy Square, Dublin to honour Ukraine's Independence Day. 

Counties will be allocated Government funding based on the number of Ukrainian refugees and international protection applicants they have, as part of a new €50m support programme.

The proposal for the community support fund, designed to help the integration of refugees in towns and villages across Ireland, was brought to the Cabinet subcommittee on Ukraine by Social Protection Minister Heather Humphreys.
