There have been 33,151 Personal Public Service Numbers (PPSNs) issued to individuals from Ukraine under the Temporary Protection Directive, CSO data show.

Women aged 20 and over account for 48% of arrivals to date, while those aged 0-19 (both male and female) account for 38%. 

The highest percentage of those arriving (43% or 14,271) were categorised as 'one parent with children', though spouses may have stayed in Ukraine.

The Local Electoral Area (LEA) which had the highest number of arrivals from Ukraine was North inner-city in Dublin, with 1,156.

Analysis

The CSO’s Karola Graupner said that the release included an analysis of Ukrainian arrivals who were availing of support and services from the Department of Social Protection.

“Based on the local post office address, as per the process through which refugees were seeking assistance from the department, we also show two maps in this release based on mapping 29,718 individuals, or 90% of arrivals, to a local post office: the first map is a count of arrivals by Local Electoral Area (LEA), and the second is the rate of arrivals by LEA (per 100 of the Census 2016 population). 

“Using the local post office address as a proxy for place of residence, arrivals from Ukraine are present in all LEAs, and North Inner City in Dublin had the highest number of associated arrivals from Ukraine at 1,156. 

“Our analysis also shows that the rate per 100 of the population ranges across all LEAs in the country from 0.03% to 6.81%. The LEA with the highest rate is Ennistimon in Clare, while the LEA of Drogheda Rural in Louth had the lowest rate in the country."

The CSO figures are estimates of the numbers arriving from Ukraine, since others may not have received a PPSN yet.
