According to O'Donovan, 60,000 people—or 1% of the population—have arrived in Ireland since February, supporting the government's handling of the crisis. Up to 56,000 Ukrainian men, women, and children have so far been housed in Ireland; thousands of them are enrolled in elementary and secondary schools, and more than 10,000 of them are employed.
The first contract to deliver 500 modular homes for people from Ukraine fleeing the Russian invasion will be completed in early 2023, a minister has said.
Minister of State Patrick O’Donovan said the homes will not all be sited at Defence Forces barracks but also on land provided other public bodies including the HSE. However, the administration has issued a warning that because of the housing shortage, migrants may end up sleeping on the streets.
"We've signed a contract with a primary contractor, and construction has begun on the first 500 homes, the number of which the government has now increased to include an additional 200. "On top of that, we've given the subcontractors orders for 250 homes, so we're on schedule to deliver. We anticipate that the first phase will be finished in the first two months of 2023, which is really on schedule with the original schedule.
Various public entities, such as the Office of Public Works, local governments, the HSE, the Department of Defense, and others, he claimed, would give the locations on which the homes would be built.
