Over 9,700 Ukrainians have arrived in Kerry since the start of the conflict with Russia.
That’s according to figures released by the Central Statistics Office, which shows more than 107,000 people have arrived in Ireland since the Russian invasion began.
The report shows that the Kenmare Local Electoral Area is accommodating the highest number of Ukrainian refugees nationwide.
According to the CSO, as of June 2nd 9,735 Ukrainian refugees have arrived in Kerry.
This figure is based on the number of PPSN allocations either through the address of the post office where Department of Social Protection assistance was sought ; or, if available, the arrivals' residential address where an Accommodation Recognition Payment (ARP) is payable to the host of the residence.
