-----and I am glad to say that 12,500 Ukrainians who have come here are working and contributing to our economy. We want more of this. We want to help them to integrate into the community and to take up employment.

I was in Roscommon on Thursday and I met Ukrainians there. The first thing they always say is "Thank You" to the Irish people for accommodating them. They are genuinely grateful for the help they have got. We are working with them through different programmes, such as the social inclusion and community activation programme, SICAP, to help them to train and reskill. In fact, I gave out certificates because those people are going to get jobs in the local hotel.
