It’s being shared on social media as if it were a legitimate news story, but that’s not the case. The fake screenshot circulating on X uses RTÉ News’s logo and colour scheme and says that the Irish government has signed off on "another €150 million allocation for Ukrainian pet welfare". However there’s no evidence whatsoever that the story is real - an internet search doesn’t yield any results, only fact-checks already debunking the story. Fact-check:...

European Union auditors said on Wednesday that they are unable to establish whether some of the billions of euros the bloc has given to Turkey to help it cope with Syrian refugees is actually having any impact.

Last weekend in Dublin, a distressing scene unfolded as numerous asylum seekers were obliged to sleep outside the government's International Protection Office in tents. They had no access to basic necessities – no electricity, no running water, no sanitation. The result could be described as a localised humanitarian disaster. According to Jed, an asylum seeker from Jordan, the recent conditions were deplorable. He described a lack of essential services, including toilets and showers, leaving people without proper hygiene facilities for weeks, enduring harsh weather conditions. Yet as we conduc...

The Polish government has extended the right to stay and assistance for more than one million Ukrainian refugees, but only until 30 June. There is growing concern that the budgets of international aid organisations might be reduced, but their support is still very much needed. "We help people with their taxes and declarations, a lot of pensioners come to us with requests for help, even small things, but they need it very much,” said Svitlana Kotova of the Polish Legal Help and Information Centre. “I think that this help is still important and should still be provided. The war is not over, it i...

She is not proud of the war in Ukraine – in fact, quite the opposite. "When the war started, we felt very bad," she says of her situation in February ...
