The package is aimed at providing shelter for 42,000 asylum seekers from Ukraine and 16,000 from other countries.

The Government is under pressure like never before as the number of refugees entering the country continues to increase.

Following a meeting of a special sub-committee last night it agreed to put a package of measures in place to deal with the current crisis.

They include a plan to clear pathways out of direct provision for those who are granted legal status.

The Government will also increase the recognition payment and accelerate work on all possible additional accommodation options such as emergency shelter, refurbished buildings and rapid build housing units.

Local-authorities will also be asked to issue a call for vacant properties and holiday homes.
