550 Ukrainians in Ireland's international protection system out of 32,000 applicants, with 800 applying since Feb 2022.

Irish Minister for Integration, Roderic O'Gorman, reported that around 550 Ukrainians are currently in Ireland's international protection system, a small fraction of the 32,000 total applicants. Over 800 Ukrainians have applied for asylum since February 2022, raising concerns that they seek better state supports. The government has reduced benefits for new arrivals to equal those of asylum seekers, and officials are developing strategies for when the EU's temporary protection directive ends in 2026.
