I have asked to meet Helping Irish Hosts to engage with and hear from its representatives directly. I welcome the huge support it has provided. A substantial proportion of Ukrainians living in Ireland are living in homes around the country and it has been a valuable support to the Government. I would be supportive of looking at the model used there in other areas, perhaps the Irish refugee protection programme or even people in international protection with status. There are options there. It has worked well. That would involve changing the legislation.

Ireland will be guided by and work in lockstep with the rest of Europe in terms of what happens on the expiration of the temporary protection directive. We need to know the European-wide approach before making decisions, but it will be a key consideration.
