Ukrainian Man Living and Working in Ireland Says He's Never Going Back Home
24 February - 1 hour 4 minsFour years on from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, has Ireland’s welcome worn out? Adrian and Jeremy read a message from Andre, a Ukrainian dad who fought for six months, now runs a coffee shop here, pays tax, and says the online “go home” abuse is getting worse.
