With over 6,000 Ukrainian refugees already in Ireland the State needs to make enormous efforts to ensure that they can be speedily integrated into local communities and the workforce.
Many refugees with poorer English will need help in finding opportunities where they will be able to take advantage of their skills and talents. With so many of the refugees being women, childcare will be a serious problem for those who seek to work while they are here.
Recognition of professional qualifications (such as childcare certification and drivers’, including HGV, licences) needs to be accelerated.
Government need to resource the Garda vetting service to ensure that people who are here can be facilitated in finding work as quickly as possible.
