A Ukrainian-born solicitor in Manchester, whose own family had to leave their country to avoid Russia's bombing, has said it's her "duty" to help others flee the war by processing a select number of asylum applications free of charge.
Iryna O’Reilly, who works for Barings Law in the city centre, has lived in England for over 20 years and got her law degree from the University of Manchester in 2010.
She is also using her own negative experience of the immigration system, which cost her a "dream job" six years ago, to make the process simpler for those seeking a better life in the UK.
