High Hopes 3000
Taliban seized Afghanistan in August

470 people have been invited to come here since the Taliban seized their country in August.
The refugees can skip the asylum process.
The Department of Equality says only 250 have arrived in Ireland.
Nick Henderson, from the Irish Refugee Council, says it's very hard to leave Afghanistan at the moment:
