Not one modular home ready for Ukrainian refugees as government way off target of 700
A report by
Eoghan Dalton
The programme aims to house people fleeing the war in Ukraine.
Only seven sites for modular homes to accommodate families fleeing the war in Ukraine have been found so far.
These sites have a combined capacity for 312 rapid-build homes - but it's some way off the government's own target of 700 homes.
One Social Democrats TD said the low delivery 'smacks of the government making a high-level decision and then not putting in the work to implement' the programme.
