They’re in luck. Most Ukrainians practice Eastern Orthodoxy, so Ireland has no problem with them. There are also a lot of Jews, but they’re not likely to to go to Ireland, they’re most likely to go to neighboring countries.

There are a lot of Jews in Ireland. Perhaps not the northern part – they tend to be a bit dogmatic.

According to the Irish 2016 census there were a little more than 2500 Jews in Ireland. So, no, not a lot.

Fortunately that doesn’t seem to be the issue it has been – and thank goodness, hasn’t Religion done enough harm in our history already?
