Thousands of elderly Ukrainian refugees relying on weekly state supports which Social Protection Minister Heather Humphreys plans to cut to €38.80 in less than three months.
Last week, with local and European elections approaching on June 7, Ms. Humphreys announced plans to cut welfare for 27,000 Ukrainian refugees in State-provided accommodation within the next three months.
The move resulted in more than 100,000 Ukrainians arriving in Ireland. Since March, the refugees were told they would only be entitled to €38.80 a week and provided with three months' state accommodation.
