Some 750 Ukrainians will be housed at the Electric Picnic site in Stradbally, Co Laois, for up to six weeks

Minister of State Ossian Smyth told Morning Ireland, on RTÉ Radio 1, that he does not view tents as being a long term solution to the accommodation shortage.

“We are now faced with a real short-term difficulty for the next few weeks. And the Government has contracted to take over the tents that were at Electric Picnic over the weekend. Today or tomorrow, up to 750 Ukrainians will be moving in to those tents but that is obviously a very short term facility. Six weeks I would expect.
