btw, a couple of years ago during a trip to Ireland, we visited friends in Kilkenny and heard about how they had repurposed some facilities in order to house Ukrainian refugees...as the following explains, those Ukrainians were very appreciative. This was just one example I'm sure of what drove President Zelensky to speak to the Irish Parliament.
