Mr. Eddie Casey:

Recent data from the CSO show the number of claimants who were refugees rose to approximately 30,000 and then started to decline. That was an interesting finding. It might be that some of those refugees are integrating into working practices and things like that and might not be claiming as much as we thought. It is difficult to see where this will end up because the cost is high compared with other countries and the number of refugees Ireland is expected to receive also seems high, given many of those refugees are settling in communities much closer to Ukraine. There is some reason to suggest the estimate could be a high-ball estimate.
