A group which has been set up to spearhead Cork City Council’s community response to the Covid-19 pandemic will now lead its response to Ukrainian refugees coming to the city, according to council chief executive Ann Doherty.

She told a virtual meeting of the Cork City Joint Policing Committee that the Cork City Community Response Forum has already met in recent days to discuss the city council’s response to the arrival of refugees from Ukraine, with a further plan to meet this week.
