Ireland intends to relocate 3,205 refugees to their territory. OR Ireland intends to relocates 920 refugees into their territory.

To relocate is to exchange one fixed point for another, not motion into a space like a thunderstorm moving from the North Atlantic into Ireland. So Ireland plans to relocate refugees to/in/within their territory.

Using the name of singular name of a country as a notional plural — their territory — is British usage. American English would use its.

  • Quite and what did your search engines and dictionaries leave unsaid about the differnce between "in" and "into"? Thankfully, that about American and British differences isn't yet true and at least most of us Brits still get that right, however far we might slip in sports. – Robbie Goodwin Mar 06 '18 at 23:39
