Minister tentative on more refugees

THE Integration Minister said that he cannot rule out putting further refugees in tents as accommodation reaches a "pinch point".

The first Ukrainian refugees moved into tents at the Electric Picnic site in Stradbally, Co Laois, on Tuesday.

While organisers said that 750 refugees could be accommodated from Thursday, around 50 have moved in so far.

The number of Ukrainian refugees arriving into Ireland had dipped in recent months but has now started to increase again with around 500 new arrivals each week.
