Stradbally site to be used as accommodation centre for newly arrived Ukrainians

Sources have said the site will have to be returned prior to the Electric Picnic festival in August

Integration Minister Roderic O’Gorman is to meet with local representatives in Drogheda on Monday.

The Government is to use a site in Stradbally, Co Laois, as a designated accommodation centre for newly arrived Ukrainians who can only stay for 90 days.

Children will likely not attend local schools due to the short duration of their stay, officials have said.
