Ukranian Voices From Ireland
The Ukrainian Voices in Ireland podcast shares stories from the Ukranian community and helps to build communication with Ireland’s new residents. The podcast Ukrainian refugees a voice and a chance to introduce themselves to the people of Ireland. With so many arrivals, spread so widely across the country, there is a lack of a coherent narrative or voices. Ireland’s Classic Hits Radio wants to play its part in welcoming the newest members of Ireland’s community and giving them a voice.

Ukranian Voices in Ireland
Each week, we highlight a voice from the Ukrainian community and let them tell their story, where they’re from, how they got to Ireland and how they’ve settled in to their new life in Ireland. More than 83,000 Ukrainians have arrived in Ireland since the beginning of Russia’s war on Ukraine in 2022, they’re fleeing a terrible conflict that has regularly seen shelling and missile attacks on civilian targets across the whole country.
Ireland’s Classic Hits Radio wants to play its part in welcoming the newest members of Ireland’s community and giving them a voice and an opportunity to speak for themselves and introduce themselves to a wider Irish audience.
