The war on Ukraine started a month ago. Since then, more than 3.6 million refugees have left the country. Initially the Irish Government said it expected up to 20,000 refugees to arrive here. Now that number has increased ten-fold. There are plans to change planning laws to fast-track accommodation, garda vetting is being sped up and school places are being sought. But how will it all work and what is it like to host a refugee family? Host: Kevin Doyle Guests: Philip Ryan, Eleanor Farrell, Matt Lunson
