Refurbished churches may be used to house thousands of Ukrainian refugees in Ireland as the Housing Minister revealed an extra 35,000 permanent homes need to be built.
This startling figure is in addition to the 33,000 new homes the Government has said need to be built every year to deal with the housing crisis here.
And now the Government have 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 refugees.
