The number of refugees resettled in Ireland doubled between 2015 and 2016 – but the numbers being taken in are still low.
A new ESRI study shows that while Ireland has a well-established programme for refugees there is room for expansion.
350 people have been brought here to date ,with another 520 expected to arrive next year.
Researcher on the report Samantha Arnold says the EU's response overall has been positive.
