In a statement MInister O Gorman commented:"As you will be aware, my Department has been responding to the dual challenges of the arrival of tens of thousands of Ukrainian displaced persons, along with a very significant increase in the number of international protection applicants.
"This has necessitated my Department seek additional accommodation," he said.
The Department have informed the HSE, Department of Social Protection, TESS, the local Gardai and Kildare County Council.
It said it's working to put in place an NGO to support the residents following a recent expression of interest issued to NGOs to provide support to IPAS accommodation.
