Irish government doesn't expect the number of arriving Ukrainians to reduce

The transcript discusses the migration of roughly 100,000 Ukrainians to Ireland, with 80,000 still residing there. Ireland has provided them with accommodation, education, healthcare, and employment. The speaker anticipates a reduction in future migration as Ireland aligns its offerings with other Western European countries. However, the unpredictability of the war in Ukraine, particularly President Putin's potential use of migration as a weapon, poses challenges. Ukrainians cite Ireland's English-speaking environment and distance from Russia as reasons for choosing it. The hope is for a successful resolution to the war, allowing Ukrainians to consider returning home.
