The Government has rejected claims its modular homes programme to house Ukrainian refugees is behind schedule, even though it will be the New Year before the first ones are ready.

The first contract to deliver 500 modular homes for people from Ukraine fleeing the Russian invasion will be completed in early 2023, the Office of Public Works (OPW) minister has said.
