Department to evict 123 Ukrainian refugees from Millstreet at end of August

The refugees were told that a letter will be sent outlining the locations of their new accommodation but they do not know when this letter will arrive or if they will be relocated within Cork

Cork's Green Glens Arena has insisted it will do “anything possible” to stop Ukrainian residents being evicted from their homes there in a matter of weeks.

In a letter to residents, Thomas Duggan from the venue addressed the recent eviction notice from the Department of Justice, telling the Ukrainians they will be moved to alternative accommodation on August 29.
