Site-enabling works are under way to build 64 modular homes to house some 250 Ukrainian refugees near Mahon Point Shopping Centre in Cork in January.

Work at the site will continue over the coming weeks to ready the site for housing units which are currently being fabricated off-site, the Office of Public Works confirmed.
