CABINET HAS SIGNED off on a proposal to lease the Citywest Hotel in Dublin for two years to accommodate Ukrainian refugees.

The hotel and conference centre currently accommodates about 2,300 people fleeing the war.

Tetrarch Capital, which owns the building, is in discussions with the Government about a longer lease arrangement.

The exact costs of the arrangement will not be made public, due to commercial sensitivity.

The proposal was agreed at Cabinet this evening, with the arrangement set to begin in the coming days.
