There are just over 84,000 Ukrainians based in Ireland according to the latest data released by the Central Statistics Office.
Up to 3 February 2026, 121,048 Ukrainians were issued a Personal Public Service Number (PPSN) as Beneficiaries of Temporary Protection (BOTP).
According to the CSO, 69% (84,100) Ukrainian nationals were still active in the administrative data.
Signs of activity are defined as attending an Intreo event, starting a training course, being the parent/guardian of a child in the National Childcare Scheme (NCS) or Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) programme, being in paid and active employment or having a welfare payment.
The figures were contained in the 18th series of data released by the CSO on Ukrainian BOTPs, which provides insights into Ireland's response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
This time last year, CSO figures showed there were just under 80,000 Ukrainians living in Ireland.
The CSO said while PPSN allocations give the total number of arrivals from Ukraine under the Temporary Protection Directive, it is not necessarily indicative of how many persons are currently residing in Ireland as some arrivals may have subsequently left.
Women and men aged 20 years and over made up 45% and 28% respectively of arrivals.
Some 27% of arrivals were people aged under 20 years.
Of all arrivals to date aged 18 years and over, 59% of males and 49% of females were married or cohabiting.
Just over 29,000 of those were in employment and average weekly earnings were €540.
The most common sector of employment was in wholesale, transport and accommodation.
According to Intreo, 52% (28,251) of people noted that English language proficiency was a challenge in securing employment.
The figures revelaed that 12,000 arrivals are enrolled in further education and training courses.
The vast majority of these (8,098) are enrolled in further education English language courses.
A total of 17,378 temporary protection beneficiaries from Ukraine are enrolled in schools during this academic year.
Donegal had the highest number of children enrolled in primary schools while Dublin had the highest number of children enrolled in secondary schools.
Monaghan had the lowest number of children enrolled in both primary and secondary schools.
