Viewers who tuned in to Monday's episode of Claire Byrne Live were full of praise for the focus shown by the host and the show on some of the Ukrainian families who had ended up on these shores.
Vladimir Putin's illegal invasion of Ukraine is approaching the two-month mark.
On Monday, UNICEF revealed that over 140 children had been killed so far in the conflict.

Then in the evening, Claire spoke to a number of Ukrainian nationals, as well as hearing from people still in the warzone.
People on social media were left equally impressed and distressed about the situation.
One tweeted: "Putin doesnt seem to care, he needs to be stopped by Nato and the West before its too late."
A second added: "OMG this is so sad to listen to. How is Putin still alive and still allowed to commit these crimes."
A third wrote: "Ukrainian people on #cblive are very impressive."
While a fourth said: "Incredible to hear from Stanislav in Ukraine. I hope he gets back to Ireland safe and sound"
A UNICEF spokesperson explained: "Of the 3.2 million children estimated to have remained in their homes, nearly half may be at risk of not having enough food. Attacks on water system infrastructure and power outages have left an estimated 1.4 million people without access to water in Ukraine. Another 4.6 million people have only limited access.
"The situation is even worse in cities like Mariupol and Kherson, where children and their families have now gone weeks without running water and sanitation services, a regular supply of food, and medical care. They are sheltering in their homes and underground, waiting for the bombs and violence to stop.
"As of yesterday, OHCHR has verified 142 children killed and 229 children injured. We know these numbers are likely much higher -- and many of them were caused by crossfire or the use of explosive weapons in populated areas."
