The Government is adopting a whole of Government approach to supporting Ukrainian refugees. My Department is currently providing accommodation to Ukrainian refugees arriving into Ireland. I have provided funding to support the Irish Red Cross which has now launched a national pledge seeking offers of accommodation from members of the public interested in supporting the refugees. Details of how to register accommodation is available on Gov.ie and on the Irish Red Cross website.
