Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Education and Supports Provision for Displaced Ukrainian Students: Discussion

Ms Meg Ryan:

Having systems in place, such as a streamlined process for medical card applications that is in Ukrainian, has been very successful. It gives service users access to healthcare treatment and there is less fear about the financial implications of seeking medical support. It is very successful and useful to have systems like that in place. It shows that language access is key in supporting people who have been relocated.
