89 buildings identified for accommodating Ukrainian refugees - O'Brien [View all]
The Minister for Housing has said that 89 buildings have been identified for accommodating Ukrainian refugees following a trawl of local authorities' vacant properties.
Darragh O'Brien said that if utilised, these could create more than 5,000 bed spaces.
He told RTÉ's Drivetime programme that the first 89 buildings could be made functional "within a matter of weeks".
The minister said that these buildings are of different sizes and include vacant larger properties such as former hospitals and schools.
