Micheál Martin has said that while Ireland has been very helpful in its response to the plight of Ukrainian refugees, we can and have to do more for them.

On a visit to the new refugee centre in Millstreet, Co Cork, the Taoiseach was asked if we can accommodate the 25,000 Ukrainian refugees already here, and how far are we from having to put them up in tents.
