A plan on how to communicate with communities taking in refugees is to be discussed by a Cabinet committee on Thursday.

Sources say that while the draft communications plan, which will be discussed by the Cabinet sub-committee on Ukraine, is still in its early drafting, it is "largely common sense" and will likely draw on national communications plans like those used during the covid pandemic.
