The Laois Offaly rep doubts there will be enough services.
There's fears the capacity of a 90-day midlands accommodation centre for new arrivals from Ukraine will make the site "unsuitable."
The Designated Accommodation Centre in Stradbally has a maximum capacity of 950, which is more than twice the total of any of the other four sites announced yesterday.
The Department of Integration says the focus of supports in the areas will be on orientation on living and working in Ireland and the options for sourcing accommodation independently.
Laois Offaly Independent TD Carol Nolan says the site in Stradbally may not be workable:
