Uncertainty about accommodation for new refugees from Ukraine.
Éiginnteacht faoi chóiríocht do theifigh nua as an Úcráin.
The Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth says that by next week the State will not be able to confirm that accommodation will be available for refugees from Ukraine and for applicants for international protection from other countries.
Deir an tAire Leanaí, Comhionannais, Míchumais, Lánpháirtíochta agus Óige nach mbeidh sé d’acmhainn ag an Stát faoin tseachtain seo chugainn a dheimhniú go mbeidh cóíríocht ar fáil do theifigh as an Úcráin agus d’iarrthóirí ar chosaint idirnáisiúnta as tíortha eile.
Roderic O’Gorman’s speech came on the heels of his Department’s announcement yesterday that the Citywest Transit Hub was now vacant.
Tháinig caint Roderic O’Gorman sna sála ar fhógra óna Roinn inné go raibh Mol Idirthurais an Citywest anois lomlán.
Accommodation has currently been provided for over 58,000 people in Ireland, 42,000 people from Ukraine and 16,000 people who are applicants for international protection.
Faoi láthair tá cóíríocht curtha ar fáil d’os cionn 58,000 duine in Éirinn, 42,000 duine as an Úcráin agus 16,000 duine atá ina n-iarratasóirí ar chosaint idirnáisiúnta.
300 of those from Ukraine are staying in tents in the State.
300 duine díobh sin as an Úcráin atá ag fanacht i bpubaill sa Stát.
Minister O’Gorman said on RTÉ this morning that priority would be given to the most vulnerable people.
Dúírt an tAire O’Gorman ar RTÉ ar maidin go dtabharfaí tús áite do na daoine is leochailí.
The Department, he said, is discussing with the Embassy of Ukraine to inform them that there is a great restriction on the capacity of accommodation and accommodation here into the next week.
Tá an Roinn, a dúírt sé, ag plé le hAmbasáid na Úcráine lena chur in iúl dóibh go bhfuil srian mór ar an acmhainn lóístín agus cóíríóchta anseo isteach sa tseachtain seo chugainn.
They want people who are traveling here to stay at ease in another European Union country to know that we cannot guarantee any accommodation for next week.
Tá siad ag iarraidh go mbeadh a fhios ag daoine atá ag taisteal anseo fanacht go fóíll i dtír eile de chuid an Aontais Eorpaigh faoi nach féidir linn aon chóíríocht a dheimhniú don tseachtain seo chugainn.
Everyone was doing their best he said to keep the delay in getting new accommodation as short as possible but it cannot be guaranteed that this will not happen again during the winter if the number of people coming in remains so high.
Bhí gach duine ar a ndícheall a dúirt sé leis an moill ar chóíríocht nua a fháil a choinneáíl chomh gearr is féidir ach nach féidir a dhéimhniú nach dtarlóídh sé seo arís i rith an gheimhridh má fhanann an líon daoine atá ag teacht isteach chomh hard sin.
There were 881 people in the Citywest Transit Hub overnight, and the processing of people coming to Ireland under the Temporary Protection directive will continue there.
881 duine a bhí i Mol Idirthurais Citywest thar oíche, agus leanfar ansiúd den phróiseáil ar dhaoine atá ag teacht go hÉirinn faoin treoir um Chosaint Shealadach.
Minister O’Gorman could not rule out the possibility of people sleeping on the streets.
Níorbh fhéidir leis an Aire O’Gorman é a chur as an áireamh go bhféadfadh daoine bheith ag codladh ar na sráideanna.
Refugee Council of Ireland chief executive Nick Henderson says it is unclear where new refugees will come to Ireland, as Citywest has stopped taking any more.
Deir príomhfheidhmeannacha Chomhairle Theifeach na hÉireann Nick Henderson nach bhfuil sé soiléir cá dtiocfaidh teifigh nua go hÉirinn, mar go bhfuil deireadh curtha ag Citywest lena thuilleadh a thógáil.
The Government has indicated, he says, that people will be detained at the airport.
Tá sé tugtha le fios ag an Rialtas, a deir sé, go mbeidh daoine á gcoinneáíl san aerfort.
