A review on lowering the Accommodation Recognition Payment will be signed off on in Cabinet early next week.
A Longford-Westmeath TD believes homeowners in the Midlands won't stop housing Ukranian refugees when the grant for doing so is lowered.
The Accommodation Recognition Payment pays those eligible €800 a month without tax to house Ukrainians who fled the Russia-Ukraine war.
The Justice Minister now looks set to reduce it to €600 under an ongoing review set to be signed off at Cabinet next week ahead of the monthly application deadline closing on the 31st.
Fine Gael TD Micheál Carrigy says it's about considering all angles:
