The Diocese of Kerry is drawing up a list of properties suitable for housing refugees from Ukraine and has already identified a number after approaches by agencies dealing with the issue.

The large diocese, which includes parts of north and West Cork and numbers 53 parishes, owns a substantial amount of properties throughout the region, including large presbyteries and halls. There are also convent and school buildings.
