Friday’s Eurostat release of the latest information regarding the movement of Ukrainian refugees show a significant fall in numbers for the month of June. This includes a fall in the number of applications made in Ireland.
This confirms Gript’s analysis of last week’s statistics on the issuing of new PPS numbers which show that this trend continued in July and will most likely be confirmed across Europe when statistics on asylum applications are published later this month.

Ireland granted temporary protection to 6,985 Ukrainians in June which corresponds closely to the 6,579 PPS numbers issued to Ukrainians in that month. The overall number of protections granted fell from 8,145 in May and 13,430 in March when the first Ukrainian refugees arrived in the state.
As Gript revealed in July, Ireland has been among the countries with the highest per capita intake of Ukrainians since the crisis began.
That remains the case, and although the numbers have fallen, Ireland at 1.4 per 1,000 of our population was the third highest per capita host country in June, behind only Poland at 1.6 per 1,000 and Latvia at 1.5 per 1,000. That puts Ireland ahead of Lithuania and even Romania which shares a land border with Ukraine.
Indeed, at the end of June Ireland had taken in just 2,550 fewer Ukrainian refugees than neighbouring Romania which has a population of 20 million, almost four times as great as the Irish Republic.
Which means that Ireland is continuing to take in Ukrainian refugees at around three times the per capita rate as Romania which is also among the leading EU states from which immigrants are arriving here, almost 10,000 to the end of July. A significant number of these continue to be Roma people who represent a considerable cost on public provisions.
Which also represents a kind of multiplier effect when it comes to Irish people giving a hand out to the Romanian state as it continues to recover from 45 years of the socialism that the leading advocates of mass immigration here would wish to emulate.
