The centre they had been living in will not have its contract renewed due to fire safety concerns.
73 Ukrainian children and their families are set to be moved from an Government accommodation centre in Carlow - with less than a weeks notice.
In a statement to Midlands 103, a spokesperson for the Department of Integration confirmed that the contract for Togher's Accomodation Centre in Carlow had not been renewed due to fire safety concerns.
The Department also says it was unavoidable that they would be moved with very little notice given the concerns raised and that they regretted any disruption caused.
They'll be moved to centres in other parts of the country on Wednesday in Tipperary, Wexford and Kilkenny.
Fianna Fáil TD for Carlow Kilkenny John McGuinness is hopeful there can be a resolution:
In a statement from the Department to Midlands 103:
The Department has terminated the contract for Tougher’s Accommodation Centre due to fire safety concerns following site inspections by an independent inspections company.
At the time of inspection, the quality of the accommodation being provided was found not to be of the necessary standard required by the Department.
We made the decision to remove the people living there in the interests of their safety. While it is unfortunate that they will have to be moved with very little notice, this is unavoidable given the concerns raised.
Where possible, people will be accommodated locally. However, given the significant number of people at this location and the shortage of accommodation the Department has under contract in this area, it is expected that properties in other parts of the country will have to be used.
We regret the disruption that this will cause to the people involved, but the Department has a duty of care to the people who were accommodated at this property.
