Refurbished churches may be used to accommodate thousands of refugees as the Housing Minister revealed an extra 35,000 homes need to be built.
This startling figure is in addition to the 33,000 the Government has said need to be constructed every year to deal with the housing crisis here.
Ministers have also confirmed that tented accommodation which is being erected by the Defence Forces at a campsite in Co Meath will also be used soon to house Ukrainians.
