Over 2,500 Ukrainian refugees have arrived in Ireland so far, a third of whom are children. However, Justice Minister Helen McEntee said that there is "no cap" on the number that will be accommodated.

Ms McEntee and her Cabinet colleague, Social Protection Minister Heather Humphreys, were speaking at the old terminal at Dublin Airport which has been converted into a reception centre for refugees.
