Taliban seized Afghanistan in August
Just over half (53%) of the Afghan refugees Ireland has committed to accommodating, have arrived so far.
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:
