Ukrainian refugees will have nowhere to go under 90 day limit with only 40 properties in Donegal for rent

00:00 I talk to people on the street, so do you. We're all aware of what the situation is.

00:05 And whatever proposal you come forward with, whether it's the 90 day or some other proposal,

00:12 we all know that after 90 days people have nowhere to go. I took a quick check how many

00:17 houses are available to rent in Sligo 18, 9 in Leitrim, 21 in Rosbammon, 40 in Donegal.

00:24 It's the same across the country. There is nothing available for people to rent. So it's

00:31 not a question of not being able to provide unlimited offerings. In fact, the offering

00:37 we can provide at this stage, I don't know, do we have anything to offer?

00:44 In terms of any change that we make, it won't just be a change on its own. A change will

00:49 be communicated. It will be communicated through all our channels that we have with Ukrainians

00:54 in Ukraine, Ukrainians across Europe as well. And the very real nature of the challenge

01:01 in securing accommodation outside of state-owned accommodation will be conveyed. The Ukrainian

01:06 population across Europe, they're knowledgeable, they have an understanding, they're very able

01:11 to communicate and we will make it clear the challenges that exist in terms of the non-supported

01:16 accommodation system here.
