The Government is to step up efforts to house asylum seekers by converting empty buildings and using prefabs within the coming months, under proposals in the State’s revised White Paper.

The Irish Examiner has learned the new plan has been delayed for weeks, as a result of Coalition leaders seeking more concrete measures from Integration Minister Roderic O’Gorman.
