Over 10,000 Ukrainian refugees, mostly women and children, have arrived in Ireland since the war began in the eastern European country.
At a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, attended virtually from Washington by the Taoiseach after he tested positive for Covid-19 last week, the Government continued preparations for tens of thousands of Ukrainian refugees arriving into the country in the coming weeks.
Earlier, the Agriculture Minister said that it was possible that 200,000 Ukrainians might arrive into the Republic of Ireland in the months to come, with the Government pledged to take in 2% of all refugees who flee the war-torn country.

..."Earlier, the Agriculture Minister said that it was possible that 200,000 Ukrainians might arrive into the Republic of Ireland in the months to come, with the Government pledged to take in 2% of all refugees who flee the war-torn country.
The Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth confirmed on Tuesday that 4,000 Ukrainian refugees have sought state accommodation, with 2,200 in hotels.
Roderic O’Gorman also said that the Government was working with state agencies and religious organisations in a bid to secure longer-term accommodation.
“We are only 27 days into this crisis.
“There are significantly more amounts of work that needs to be done,” Mr O’Gorman said at a post-Cabinet briefing.
“We are now looking at the ways we can accommodate large numbers of people in the medium-to-long term.”
“I think it is important to say we are taking as wide a review as possible on this.
“We are aware of the scale of the challenge.”
Speaking alongside him, the Social Protection Minister Heather Humphreys confirmed that anyone who takes in a Ukrainian refugee will see no impact to welfare entitlements."...
