Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions
Dail Éireann — 2022-02-24
============================================================

Cian O'Callaghan (SD), Dublin Bay North

I asked the Tánaiste specifically about Ukrainian citizens living in Ireland hoping to get their family members here and what assistance would be given to them.
During the pandemic, Ukrainian citizens in Ireland showed up for us. They kept our supermarkets open. They were working in front-line services in healthcare, working as care assistance and working as nurses. They were looking after our family members.
For the past few weeks, they have been trying to look after their family members and get them here to take them into their homes. They have not been assisted in terms of the bureaucratic processes. Will we be giving them practical support now to help them get their loved ones to Ireland? That is specifically what I am asking the Tánaiste.
