Five years after the war in Ukraine broke out, the Government has announced that it will withdraw supports for tourist and commercial accommodation that are housing up to 16,000 Ukrainians...

There will also be a further reduction to accommodation supports due later in the year as part of a wind down in the €600 Accommodation Recognition Payment Scheme.

So, how will things change for Ukrainian people living in Ireland?

Joining Andrea to discuss is Anatoly from Ukrainian Action in Ireland, Hotelier Lorraine Sweeney and more.
