Some 33 Ukrainian families have moved into a new modular housing development in Mahon, Co Cork.
A spokesperson for the Department of Integration confirmed that the families moved in on 14 June, and the remaining residents will have moved into the 64 unit development by 29 June.
The new estate in Mahon is the first modular housing development promised by the State to welcome residents.
Overseen by the Office of Public Works, the 64 rapid build homes were built on a site which Cork City Council offered to the State for the purpose of housing Ukrainian refugees.
The Department of Integration spokesperson confirmed that more Ukrainian refugees will be moved into other sites too "in the coming weeks and the selection of families for these sites in on-going."
Sites in Cavan town in Co Cavan, in Thurles, Co Tipperary, in Doorly Park, Co Sligo and in Claremorris, Co Mayo were among the sites developed as part of phase one of the rapid build project to house Ukrainian refugees.
A further seven sites are under consideration as part of a second phase of development.
