Roderic O’Gorman TD has said that he “can’t rule out” the possibility of refugees sleeping on streets as the Citywest Transit Hub closes temporarily to new arrivals.
The Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth said there is a “major constraint” on the capacity available.
Minister O’Gorman said that they would have to prioritise who gets accommodation due to shortages, with women, children and vulnerable people being considered first.
