'It is not a row back': Increasing €400 payment for housing Ukrainians 'under review'

Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said Ireland will not be putting a stop to the number of refugees coming into the country despite the accommodation crisis

The Taoiseach said the State is doing everything it possibly can to avoid and prevent refugees sleeping on streets.

The Government appears to have rowed back on increasing a €400 monthly payment given to households who are accommodating Ukrainians.

It comes as Integration Minister Roderic O’Gorman has admitted that some refugees could end up sleeping on the streets as the State is struggling to secure accommodation for people arriving in the country.
