The Cabinet is meeting this morning to approve new laws to allow Ukrainian refugees to register in regional hubs, as opposed to having to travel to Dublin.

Ministers will be told that since the end of February, a total of 34,561 people have arrived in Ireland from the war-torn country, with 25,105 seeking accommodation from the State.
