There has been a fall in the number of Ukrainian refugees arriving in Ireland in the last two weeks after the Ukrainian embassy highlighted the pressures on accommodation here, Children's Minister Roderic O’Gorman has said.

Mr O'Gorman, who is responsible for overseeing the State’s response to accommodation for Ukrainians, said there continues to be “real pressure” on the provision of accommodation and the department is working with hotels to extend contracts.
