It was very clear when it was in here on the numbers of unaccompanied minors arriving and pointed it out that day. It is also important to have procedures in place to deal with this. We are two years and three months into a war. Even at this late stage, it needs to deal with this.

Moving on, No. 2545 from Jonathan Hill, who is now the former chief of executive of the Football Association of Ireland, FAI, dated 8 April, provides follow-up information requested at the meeting of 22 February 2024, including the allocation of Covid resilience and recovery funds administered by Sport Ireland to the FAI in 2020, and specifically a breakdown of the €11 million designated for central costs at the FAI. It is proposed that we note and publish this item of correspondence. Is that agreed? Agreed.

Deputy Murphy flagged it and so did I. There were 19 grant scheme payments. I am afraid the headline breakdowns are not a comprehensive statement of where the money went, having looked at it. Does the Deputy wish to comment?
