The Department of Integration has postponed the relocation of elderly and disabled Ukrainians from a large student apartment complex in Cork City, but the fate of hundreds of others living there remains uncertain.

All 425 Ukrainian residents of the Cork Student Village complex were told by the department recently that they need to leave by March 13, with officials citing obligations under Rent Pressure Zone (RPZ) regulations which means that student accommodation must be returned to students by next month.
