The CEO of Clare County Council has described the accommodation situation for Ukrainian refugees in Clare as “quite unstable”.

He made the comment in response to a motion from Independent councillor Gerry Flynn, who called on the government to provide additional resources to address the housing need for Ukrainian refugees in Clare.
