Ukrainian refugees in Ireland are forced to live in cramped rooms with rats, without showers and are freezing, Irish Independent columnist Rodney Edwards wrote.
He said the Ukrainians have been housed in a room divided by flimsy partitions into cramped rooms.
“Imagine a changing room in a shop. It’s like an enlarged version of this. There are three partitions with a curtain in the front and a single bed. There is no privacy here,” the article said.
The journalist added that there is food scattered on the floor, while the emergency exit is used to hang clothes, and there are no showers inside.
“One source familiar with accommodation conditions said that Ukrainians have to go outside, sometimes in the freezing cold, to wash themselves,” Edwards noted.
He said that people who had left Ukraine had complained about rats and mice spotted in eating places.
Earlier, the Irish Examiner newspaper wrote that refugees in Ireland were afraid to complain about their living conditions for fear of being kicked out.
Now there are 42,000 Ukrainians and 16,000 asylum seekers living in the country.
