She said: "Ireland needs to have an arrangement whereby someone who has arranged surrogacy with an Irish family can be flown to Ireland and have medical bills guaranteed, maternal healthcare and living expenses over here.
"We need giving equal and ethical consideration to the impact of this on Ukrainian women and their families by helping them get out of a war zone at a very vulnerable time in their lives."
Also this week, Ireland's Minister for Justice Helen McEntee told the Dáil that Ireland will continue to help families expecting babies through surrogacy in Ukraine.
One Irish woman who has shared concern for Ukrainian surrogate mothers is Rosanna Davison.
Rosanna welcomed her first child - her daughter Sophia - through surrogacy in 2019. She has since shared that she has invited her Ukranian surrogate to live with her family in Ireland.
Sharing an article from the Irish Examiner discussing Irish families bringing Ukrainian surrogates to Ireland, Rosanna said: "This is great Irish Families Through Surrogacy. I've also invited our Ukrainian surrogate to come to Ireland and live with us."
