As part of the whole of Government response to the Ukrainian situation, the following military installations have been made available for accommodation needs:

- Kilbride Camp, Wicklow,

- Ballymullen Barracks, Tralee,

- Former Columb Barracks, Mullingar.

Previously a facility was made available at the request of the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth at the Gormanston training facility, Co. Meath. This facility has been stood down.

It is in the first instance a matter for that Department to satisfy itself as to the suitability of properties made available to it and to ensure that the local communities in these areas are engaged with.
