I received an email from someone looking for some advice. The email stated that a Ukrainian lady who had been staying with this person since 7 March had given birth on 8 May 2022 to a baby boy in Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda. Continuing, the email stated that the Ukrainian lady was making plans for her 12-year-old daughter and mother-in-law to travel to Ireland and that my correspondent was looking for a long-term option to provide accommodation for this family, as there was no space available to accommodate the extended family. The email further continued that a family member had an apartment coming up soon in Ardee, at the end of the month. The author of the email wishes to secure a more permanent home for this lady, her baby and her extended family, and felt that her family member's apartment would be suitable because it is close to shops, public nurses, doctors, etc.
