The Irish Red Cross has renewed its appeal for members of the public to consider pledging a room in their homes for Ukrainians.

The 'Safe Homes' appeal has also called on those with vacant properties to consider hosting families.

The Irish Red Cross-led Consortium of Partners have placed 10,842 beneficiaries in 4,757 properties; however, it is concerned that those fleeing Ukraine will find themselves homeless here. An online survey of those with experience of pledged accommodation conducted by the Irish Red Cross between November 2023 and February 2024 received 430 responses.

"This is a temporary measure and now more than ever newer refugees fleeing to safety here need our help", he said. Of those who are unemployed, 30% cited the inability to work in their field, and 22% cited problems with re-certifying their qualifications.
