The possibility of paying people to host refugees from Ukraine in their homes is being examined by the Department of Public Expenditure, Minister for Children Roderic O’Gorman has said

Mr O’Gorman told RTÉ’s News at One no decision had been made yet, but said any payment would have to apply to everyone and distinction should not be made between those who provide a full property and those who bring people into their own home., of whom 13,400 were being provided with accommodation by the State in hotels and guesthouses.

More than half of those have been contacted so far and it is hoped the remainder will be contacted in the coming week. Taoiseach Micheál Martin said on Sunday: “We have to move fast in terms of going through all the pledges.”Mr O’Gorman said the number of refugees arriving into the State decreased in the last week.
