I may be wrong but my understanding is that someone in an IPAS centre who has been granted refugee status can apply for social welfare in the same way as an Irish or EU citizen or a Ukrainian with this special designation. My question is whether the two sets of refugees who have been given special status in Ireland, Ukrainians under the directive and refugees who have gone through the asylum process, will now be treated differently or in the same way. I would like clarification on that.
