Simon Coveney says the Defence Forces has been asked to provide temporary accommodation, which will include tents for Ukrainian refugees in Gormanstown, County Meath.
It’s understood that it’s a reserve facility, but the Department of Foreign Affairs have confirmed that the use of tents for Ukrainians who come into Ireland will only be for a temporary phase.
However, a vast number of people feel that the 10,000 homeless Irish people, many of whom have been living long-term in tents on streets around the country, should be looked after first.
