Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 April 2024
832. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Justice the total number of Ukrainian citizens who have been welcomed to Ireland since the beginning of the Russian invasion of their country, and the number who are known to have subsequently left the State; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [13767/24]
View answerI can advise the Deputy that as of Sunday 31 March 2024 the total number of people granted temporary protection is 105,771.
I can also confirm that 104,670 (99%) were Ukrainian nationals.
Of them, my Department has been notified of 1,508 who have voluntarily withdrawn their temporary protection in the State.
My Department records those who have applied and been granted Temporary Protection and those who have formally withdrawn their Temporary Protection. Department records do not reflect the number of people who have left the country without formally notifying of their withdrawal of Temporary Protection.
