Ukrainian refugees are expected to stay in tents at a military camp in Co Meath for no longer than a week, the integration minister has said, as 150 people are to be moved there on Tuesday.
It comes after it emerged last week that the Citywest welcome centre for Ukrainians had reached capacity, coupled with a shortage of accommodation for other international protection seekers.
This led to Ukrainians sleeping on the floor in an old terminal at Dublin Airport for up to two days.
