There is mounting concern within Government at the slow pace of delivery of modular homes for refugees as thousands of people who fled here are set to lose their hotel accommodation within weeks.

The Office of Public Works (OPW) has confirmed that 800 Ukrainians will be housed in the first tranche of rapid-build modular homes by the end of March.
