As people of Ireland are aware the Irish Government is committed to delivering a humanitarian response to welcome people fleeing the war in Ukraine and seeking protection here in Ireland. Very significant work is taking place across Government to provide accommodation and other essential supports to those who have arrived here already, as well as planning and preparing to receive and support the large numbers of further people expected to arrive.
A webpage on the whole-of-Government response to the situation in Ukraine is now available at www.gov.ie/ukraine (and is updated regularly) which includes information on supports and services available to people arriving from Ukraine. Our lead Department, the Department of Rural and Community Development (DRCD) recently facilitated an online information session to discuss the community response to the crisis.
