9 out of 10 people believe that those who come to Ireland seeking refuge should be treated equally.
That's according to a new poll by the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission.
The Amárach annual poll also shows nearly three quarters of people agree Ireland benefits as a whole from being a more inclusive and diverse society.
Sinéad Gibney, Chief Commissioner of the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission, says it is reassuring to see Irish people remain supportive of those seeking asylum:
"Overall, I would say that what we're seeing in terms of those positive attitudinal statistics. They are kind of steady over the last number of years. It's really does display that Irish people are positive towards interculturalism, towards diversity. And I think that rings very true in terms of the response we've seen to the people from Ukraine who've arrived here in Ireland and have been provided with such a warm welcome".
