The Minister for Justice Helen McEntee has announced the immediate lifting of visa requirements between Ukraine and Ireland.

In a statement, the Minister said that this will "streamline and support the swift exit of both the Ukrainian family members of Irish citizens and the family members of people from Ukraine who are resident in Ireland".
