The site of Ireland’s Electric Picnic music festival is being converted into a temporary home for nearly 1,000 refugees from Ukraine.
Now that last weekend’s Electric Picnic has concluded, workers have been building hundreds of tents at the festival site in Stradbally, County Laois, Ireland.
According to Ireland’s Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (DCEDIY), the plot will house refugees for a six-week period, effective today, September 5.
Individuals on-site will receive hot meals, medical attention, hot water, showers, and restroom facilities.
