Cabinet to approve €20m for refugee accommodation

The memo was given to ministers late on Thursday night and an incorporeal cabinet meeting has been scheduled for 10am on Friday morning

Government ministers are to approve €20m to fund the development of accommodation for refugees at an incorporeal Cabinet meeting today.

The funding is to be made available to the Department of Integration to deliver more than 400 beds to help with the accommodation crisis due to the number of Ukrainians and people seeking international protection coming to Ireland.
