Government officials believe 60% of Ukrainians that come to Ireland will remain here even after the war ends.

In a briefing document given to Minister Simon Harris when he took over temporary responsibility for the justice portfolio in recent weeks, Government officials outlined the reality of how many Ukrainians will remain in Ireland and the number of people seeking international protection.
