Leitrim Ukrainians fear they will be out “on the streets” as support wind-down planned

Ukrainian residents in Leitrim have expressed serious concern about their future as the government prepares to wind down support schemes for people under state protection in Ireland. The community faces uncertainty regarding accommodation and financial assistance following the announcement of plans to reduce government backing for this vulnerable group.

Those affected worry about the prospect of homelessness as the withdrawal of support progresses. The situation has prompted anxiety among Ukrainian families and individuals who have been relying on state provision since arriving in Ireland, with many uncertain about what alternatives will be available to them once the support is removed.

The development comes as the government moves to adjust its approach to supporting those under international protection, a decision that has left the Ukrainian community in the county grappling with questions about their housing security and ability to meet basic living costs going forward.
