The Government will be under pressure to accommodate Ukrainian refugees arriving here in the coming months despite the rollout of 3,000 extra units, the Children's Minister Roderic O'Gorman has said.

The Cabinet sub-committee on Ukraine is to meet later on Monday to discuss housing options for the thousands of people who have arrived in Ireland fleeing the war.
