The Minister for Integration and Children is expected to warn his government colleagues of the pressing issue facing them in the coming months when it comes to finding shelter for refugees.
Roderic O'Gorman is likely to tell the cabinet he expects many hotels currently under contract with the Government will revert to tourism in March and April.
It's expected he'll press colleagues on the need to reduce reliance on private operators and build its own accommodation.
Despite that Minister O'Gorman will reiterate his view Ireland has done remarkably well in finding shelter for more than 70,000 people in 2022.
