View answerOn 4 March 2022, the Council of the European Union unanimously adopted the implementing decision regarding the Temporary Protection Directive, due to the mass influx of persons fleeing Ukraine as a consequence of the war.
This means that persons to whom the Directive applies will be able to work in Ireland and to access social services and the full range of social welfare supports including supplementary welfare allowance.
People who volunteer to provide accommodation to people arriving from Ukraine are doing so on a voluntary and altruistic basis.
