182 are in primary schools, with the remaining 83 in second-level.
Laois is catering for 107 students, Westmeath has 95, while 63 Ukrainian children and young people are enrolled in Offaly schools.
A total of 5,843 are in Irish schools as of May 13th, according to the Department of Education.
To assist with the transition, Regional Education and Language Teams (REALT) are now in place, hosted by the 16 regional education and training boards around Ireland and staffed by regionally based education support personnel.
The primary role of the REALT is to build on existing regional education support structures and the initial focus will be on assisting families in securing school places.
REALT are also supporting schools in the area to meet the needs of these children as they emerge, advising and supporting the Department of Education in developing new capacity where required, and co-ordinating the provision of education services to schools and families across their defined area.
These teams are ensuring that clear, accessible information flows are in place between schools, local education support services and national support structures in relation to people arriving from Ukraine.
Information for parents in Ukrainian and Russian on accessing school places is available on gov.ie/Ukraine.
The Department will continue to publish figures on the enrolment of Ukrainian children each month.
Labour's Education spokesperson Aodhán Ó Riordáin thinks it could be co-ordinated better:
