Counties with significant influx of Ukrainian refugees to get financial help 

Leo Varadkar told the Fine Gael parliamentary party meeting that he wanted to see the establishment of a multi-million euro community fund for areas which have welcomed a lot of refugees to improve public facilities such as schools and transport.

Counties that have experienced a significant influx of Ukrainian refugees are set to get financial help from the Government due to the additional pressure placed on services.

Both Tanáiste Leo Varadkar and Public Expenditure Minister Michael McGrath have said allocations will be made to a number of areas and local communities where a large number of refugees have been accommodated.
