The number of Ukrainian's seeking accommodation in Ireland will exceed 70,000 by the end of the year, according to the Government
A county-by-county breakdown shows a wide disparity in the numbers being accommodated in different areas across the country.
"The reports that we are getting from the Ukraine Red Cross would indicate the level of attacks on Ukraine, particularly into urban areas and the plummeting temperatures," Mr O'Dwyer said. "I think where you have 34,000 to 35,000 people from Ukraine living in the hotels and hostels and if any of that accommodation is required to come back on stream for tourists come March/April, that's where you will see a real problem," he said.
"The very high number of people seeking international protection apart from Ukraine, that's where I think you are looking at substantial figures to be dealt with by the Government over the coming weeks," Mr Dwyer said.
