The Taoiseach says that the Government must reform the support given to refugees from the war in Ukraine due to the pressure on it from accommodation issues. Deir an Taoiseach nach mór don Rialtas an tacaíocht a thugtar do theifigh ó chogadh na hÚcráine a leasú de bharr an bhrú atá air ó chúrsaí lóistín. A committee of Government ministers will discuss a proposal to reduce the financial support given to refugees from Ukraine. Pléifidh coiste airí Rialtais moladh faoi na tacaíochtaí airgidis a thugtar do theifigh ón Úcráin a laghdú. It appears that the refugees would only receive accommodation from the State for 90 days in the future, if the resolution being promoted by the Minister for Integration Roderic O’Gorman succeeds. Tá an chuma ar an scéal nach bhfaighfeadh na teifigh lóistín ón Stát ach ar feadh 90 lá amach anseo, má eiríonn leis an rún atá á chur chun cinn ag an Aire Lánpháirtíochta Roderic O’Gorman. It is expected that Social Welfare payments would also be reduced from the €220 they currently receive to €38.80, the same amount that people in the Direct Provision system receive. Táthar ag súil go laghdófaí íocaíochtaí Leasa Shóisialaigh chomh maith ó €220 atá á fháil acu faoi láthair go €38.80, an méid céanna a fhaigheann daoine sa chóras Sholáthair Dhírigh. Leo Varadkar says that the Government supports will be in line with similar ones in other countries in western Europe, and that the 90 day limit on accommodation is not the same as people being thrown out of an asylum provided by the State. Deir Leo Varadkar go mbeidh na tacaíochtaí Rialtais ar aon dul lena leithéidí i dtíortha eile in iarthar na hEorpa, agus nach nach ionann an teorainn 90 lá ar lóistín agus daoine a bheith á gcaitheamh amach as tearmann a chuir an Stát ar fáil. It is expected that the leaders of the coalition will be able to give their blessing to the plan tonight, even though Tánaiste Mícheál Martin is in Brussels at the Meeting of Ministers of Foreign Affairs. Táthar ag súil go mbeidh ceannairí an chomhrialtais in ann a mbeannacht a thabhairt don phlean anocht, cé go bhfuil an Táinaiste Mícheál Martin sa Bhruiséal ag an gCruinniú Airí Gnóthaí Eachtracha. Green Party leader Eamon Ryan is one of the EU’s main negotiators at the COP28 climate talks. Tá ceannaire Chomhaontas Glas, Eamon Ryan, ar dhuine de na phríomh- idirbheartaithe ag an AE ag cainteanna aeráide COP28. Speaking on the program The Week in Politics yesterday on RTÉ, Minister of State James Browne said that it is expected that the matter will be completed this week. Ag labhairt ar an gclár The Week in Politics inné ar RTÉ, dúirt an tAire Stáit James Browne go bhfuiltear ag súil go gcuirfear an rud i gcrích an tseachtain seo. He said that the measures were implemented during the emergency, but that a ‘medium term’ approach is now needed. Dúirt sé gur cuireadh na bearta i bhfeidhm le linn na héigeandála, ach go bhfuil gá le cur chuige ‘meántéarmach’ anois. Sinn Féin’s Dála Deputy, Mairéad Farrell, said on the same program that it was time to review the supports but that there should be care about the issue of accommodation. Dúirt an Teachta Dála de chuid Shinn Féin, Mairéad Farrell, ar an gclár céanna go raibh sé in am athbhreithniú a dhéanamh ar na tacaíochtaí ach gur cheart a bheith cáiréiseach faoi cheist an lóistín. “We have a housing crisis”, she said, “and we have to make sure that we are not pushing people into the rental market, which could increase rental prices even more.” “Tá géarchéim tithíochta againn”, a dúirt sí, “agus caithfimid cinntiú nach bhfuil daoine á mbrú againn isteach sa mhargadh cíosa, rud a d’fhéadfadh praghsanna cíosa a mhéadú níos mó fós.” The issue of support provided to refugees from Ukraine was discussed at a Government meeting at the end of October. Pléadh ceist na dtacaíochtaí a chuirtear ar fáil do theifigh ón Úcráin ag cruinniú Rialtais ag deireadh mhí Dheireadh Fómhair.
