The vast majority of refugees have arrived into Ireland at Dublin Airport, she told reporters as she arrived at an emergency meeting of EU justice and interior ministers in Brussels. Over 3.9 million people have fled Ukraine already, with the majority of these (2.2 million) fleeing to Poland.
The Justice Minister told RTÉ: “What’s really important…is that we acknowledge the risks with such a mass movement of people. Risks around human trafficking, child exploitation, but also criminality.
