It's 100 days since Russia invaded Ukraine.

In that time, thousands of lives have been lost, towns and cities destroyed, and people displaced.

A number of refugees from Ukraine are now in Waterford.

For Déise Today, Damien went to the Dungarvan Sports Centre where he met people who are being housed in emergency accommodation.
