Government reviewing 800 payment for Ukrainian refugee hosts after criticism that it's 'unfair' on other renters

"We do not want to see a situation where properties which were previously on the rental market... that's being looked at."

"It provides an advantage to Ukrainians that isn't available to other renters out there. It is pricing ordinary renters out of the market. It is not fair."

"The Accommodation Recognition Payment Scheme was brought in two years ago at a time of great uncertainty, but we now need to look at its impact and fairness."

"The €800 is paid for people who house Ukrainians, regardless of whether the refugee is working or their income."
