There is a housing shortage in this country; there is also a humanitarian crisis in many countries which has resulted in many coming here seeking international protection and there is also the ongoing Russia Ukraine conflict. Over 93,000 people have fled Ukraine and have come to Ireland. There are over 23,000 international protection applicants who are being given state accommodation. The issue was raised in the Dáil yesterday by a number of politicians including Kerry TD Danny Healy-Rae.
