H.E. Ms Larysa Gerasko:

Ireland has granted temporary protection status to more than 100,000, perhaps 120,000, Ukrainians. As far as I know, many people have returned to Ukraine or moved to other countries. We guess that more than 70,000 with temporary protection status still live here. Of course, many families have launched new lives. It is very hard to predict how many of them will return to Ukraine. It is my opinion that perhaps 30% will prefer to stay here. Do not forget that many Ukrainians who now live in Ireland are from occupied territories.
