The Red Cross will have to assess the offers before giving them the green light.

The Diocese of Elphin is pledging four vacant properties in an effort to house Ukrainian refugees.

The houses are located across Roscommon and Sligo and have been assessed by the Irish Red Cross for their use.

Almost 100,000 euro has been raised by the diocese in recent weeks which will go towards humanitarian work on the ground in Ukraine.
