The Department of Integration has confirmed it's considering an offer of accommodation for International Protection Applicants at the Abbey Hostel. It comes almost two weeks after 50 Ukrainian refugees, residing at the Ennis Hostel for up to two years, received letters from the Department, telling them to prepare for relocation. Some of these residents have been living in the town and attending local schools since the outbreak of war in 2022 and according to the Department, they will all be transferred by the 24th of this month. Scariff Independent TD Michael McNamara fears people will be uprooted from their new communities.
