Emer Higgins (Dublin Mid West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I wish everybody in the House and working in the Houses of the Oireachtas a very happy International Women's Day. As we celebrate it, many of us are thinking of the women of Ukraine who are fleeing their home country because of a war of Russia's making. I fully support Ireland's commitment of 100,000 welcomes to 100,000 Ukrainians, but unfortunately, many of the women who will be coming here from Ukraine will still face inequality when they get here.

In the spirit of International Women's Day, how do we plan to support Ukrainian women arriving here in Ireland in terms of housing, healthcare, childcare and community provision?
