Another 4,000 refugees are expected to arrive in Ireland before the end of the month, as Government ministers scramble to find homes for those families landing here.

While the Taoiseach and Tánaiste insisted there will be no cap placed on the numbers coming here, ministers have been warned the number of arrivals into Ireland will pass 45,000 before the end of the month, following a rise in arrivals in the past week.
