Micheál Martin has told MEPs that it has been an “honour” for Ireland to welcome over 34,000 Ukrainian refugees to our shores.
The Taoiseach was addressing the plenary session of the European Parliament on Wednesday where he also said that Ireland is backing Ukraine’s application to join the EU.
There is likely to be a decision made on this at the European Council meeting of the 27 EU leaders later this month and Mr Martin said he will be campaigning strongly for Ukraine.
