Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Education and Supports Provision for Displaced Ukrainian Students: Discussion

Ms Meg Ryan:

We have been placing families in shared accommodation and it is just that the prioritisation has been faster opportunities and vacant options. Also, when we are talking about these offerings, quite often a pledge of a vacant property is an offer of a minimum of one year and most of the shared accommodation offers begin at six months. Again, it is about trying to prioritise sustainability for families with high needs but we have been placing people into shared accommodation as well.
