On Friday, a total of 33 Ukrainian refugees were told there was no accommodation for them in Ireland after arriving in the country this week.
A spokesman for the Department for Children and Integration told the Irish Times that all of the people turned away were men.
The men in question were asked to provide contact details to accommodate them when accommodation became available.
The government is looking for more hotels, public buildings and public housing to accommodate new arrivals after they have been left homeless.
Junior Minister Niall Collins said Ireland will continue to provide a humanitarian response wherever possible.
“The Department of Equality and Children are seeking ways to find more capacity, to generate more capacity, to deal with the influx of people fleeing the war in Ukraine. Whether that’s in hotels, or whether that’s public buildings, or whether it’s people offering their own private accommodation, it’s a multi-faceted approach,” Mr Collins added, reported Breaking News.
The news comes after Roderic O’Gorman, Minister for Children and Integration, said on Friday that refugees sleeping rough “can’t be ruled out” amid an ongoing housing crisis.
Mr O’Gorman said the Ukrainian embassy was contacted so that people could be advised to stay in other EU states as state housing could not be guaranteed.
Women and children will be given priority, and his department will work with NGOs to support other arrivals, he said.
The overnight facility at Dublin Airport will also be used instead of transferring overnight arrivals to Citywest.
Tent accommodation in Gormanston is no longer available, but 300 people remain in “high-quality tents” across the country.
