Ireland to take 500 Ukrainian refugees from Moldova

Up to 500 people in Moldova who have recently fled Ukraine will soon travel to Ireland, the Cabinet agreed at a virtual meeting this afternoon.

The decision was taken in light of the extreme pressures faced by Moldova.

Today's discussions focused on ramping-up the humanitarian response to quickly provide accommodation and other essential supports for people from Ukraine seeking refuge in Ireland.

Preparations are under way to provide accommodation in hotels, guest houses, B&Bs, rooms and homes pledged by the public, State-owned or private properties that may be suitable, religious properties, and local authority facilities.
