Taoiseach Micheal Martin has suggested that Irish doctors and nurses will be urged to volunteer to treat Ukrainians who have been wounded in the war.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Mr Martin also said it will be a “people of Ireland response” when asked if Irish people will be asked to open their doors to Ukrainian refugees.
He said: “I think it would have to be a people of Ireland response as well as a government response, but a will will be very challenging.
