Refugees arriving in Ireland should be provided with easily accessible information in their native language and in an appropriate format as soon as possible after arrival, according to a study funded by the Irish Research Council.

The report focused on the Community Sponsorship Ireland (CSI) programme, established in 2019, which gives private citizens and community-based organisations an opportunity to directly support refugee families who are newly arrived here.
