Declan Smyth is from the CSO
He says the data shows it is mostly young women and children settling in Ireland :
In the figures that we have, women aged 20 and over account for 40% of arrivals to date.
While indoividuals either male or female aged 19 or less account for 36%.
What we're clearly seeing is that the arrivals are made up of women and children.
