The number of refugees from Ukraine increased in May and June – as proposed by the Irish government, due to increased Russian rocket attacks on the civilian infrastructure of Ukraine’s cities.
Irish authorities have acknowledged that there is not enough space for incoming refugees from Ukraine to settle with them. To solve the housing problem for Ukrainians, the Irish government decided to provide the Gormanston military camp for these needs. On Thursday, July 14, RTE said.
Irish Prime Minister Michol Martin said an unprecedented number of refugees had arrived in the country.
“There are about 41,000 such people from Ukraine, about 30,000 of them have been granted housing,” he said.
To accommodate the arrivals, a “temporary settlement” was set up at the Gormanston military camp on the north-east coast of Ireland. First, the camp will accommodate 150-200 people, after which another 320 refugees will be placed there.
The publication recalls that Ireland was one of the first to open borders for Ukrainians after the start of a full -scale Russian invasion of Ukraine and the abolition of the visa regime.
“The Irish government has not yet intended to close the border for Ukrainian refugees,” the message said.

During this time, the flow of refugees to Ireland increased again. Ukrainians arriving in the country by plane were forced to stay at Dublin airport. The old terminal building was turned into temporary accommodation, but, according to volunteers, some were forced to sleep right on the airport floor.
Remember that most Ukrainians who went abroad do not plan to go home in the near future. According to the UNHCR, now approximately 5.6 million Ukrainians remain outside Ukraine in Europe from about 8.8 million who crossed the border to leave after February 24, and approximately 3.3 million have already returned.
