A national psychological supports helpline for Ukrainians living in Ireland has been launched amid calls for refugees with counselling or medical skills to be fast-tracked into employment.

The plea for faster recognition of refugees’ clinical or medical qualifications came as the ‘Call Tanya’ helpline is to be launched by the migrant support group Together-Razem in Cork’s City Hall on Monday night.
