Leo Varadkar told the Dáil that Ireland has 'a better offering' which he said is also attracting Ukrainians who have been living for months in other parts of Western Europe, but just how does Ireland compare with other European countries?
A blistering Cabinet row has erupted over scaling back entitlements to Ukrainians sheltering in Ireland.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar told the Dáil today that Ireland has"a better offering" which he said is also attracting Ukrainians who have been living for months in other parts of Western Europe.When Russia invaded Ukraine, the European Union moved to offer enhanced benefits to those fleeing the conflict. But the system is under strain and officials have concluded that Ireland's offering is significantly different to that of other countries. Comparisons are not simple, as each system is different and the cost of living also varies.
