Two state-supported accommodation centres in Kerry are set to return to original use.
The Department of Justice says the need for accommodation for people affected by the war in Ukraine is reducing.
Nationally, at the beginning of 2026, 21,000 Ukrainians were living in 550 state-supported accommodation centres.
This is down from a peak of over 60,000 people fleeing the war living in such accommodation at one point.
The state contract is ending in two accommodation centres in Kerry next month affecting over 50 residents.
The Department says Silver Spruce in Killarney, which houses 28 Ukrainians, is no longer required from the middle of March.
The Ring of Kerry Hotel in Cahersiveen, which hosts 23 people in state-supported accommodation, will also end its contract on the same date.
The Department of Justice states some additional properties in the county may also be removed.
It says the properties may return to their original use on completion of the contracts, however, this is a decision for the owners.
Fianna Fáil councillor for the Castleisland MD, Fionnán Fitzgerald says the reduction of people living in state-supported accommodation is a positive step.
He says this shows that the Ukrainian community are integrating and contributing to society in Kerry.
