I would now like to ask some questions about refugees. Refugees are people who have been given permission to stay in the UK because they have been persecuted in their home country.
There are about 600 to 700 new refugees in Northern Ireland each year, including around 400 Syrians who have come here as part of a UK government scheme.
Please tell me how much you agree or disagree with the following statements about refugees in Northern Ireland.
Northern Ireland is a society that welcomes refugees escaping persecution in their home country.
