Taoiseach: Government must 'slow down' number of Ukrainians coming to Ireland 

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said he has had no further update on a more comprehensive plan to make changes to how Ukrainians are supported here but he anticipates new reforms will come into place this year.

The Taoiseach has said the Government must take action to “slow down” the number of Ukrainians coming to Ireland — with policy changes likely to be introduced before the end of the year.

Leo Varadkar said any changes to Ukrainians' social welfare will depend on their circumstances.
