The Government is appealing to hotels, owners of buildings and the public to offer their homes to accommodate Ukrainian refugees as it is understood that 33 refugees were forced to sleep in Dublin Airport overnight.

This follows warnings from the Government that the State can no longer guarantee refugees housing and Minister for Integration Roderic O’Gorman admitting that some international protection applicants could end up sleeping on the streets.
