We need to ensure our Ukrainian refugee population is treated with the sort of respect and consideration we would ourselves expect.

There is no doubting the spirit of generosity being displayed by Irish people towards the thousands of Ukrainians who have already arrived here, seeking succour and shelter from a vicious and illegal war being waged on their country by a familiar but unceasingly aggressive neighbour.

There can also be no doubting the determination of the Government and the many State bodies involved in attempting to provide the necessary facilities to feed, house, clothe, and educate the thousands of Ukrainians arriving on our small island on a daily basis.
