I thank the Minister of State for that information. In the national context, €1.5 million is a tiny amount. Apropos what Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn stated, we are referring to people who are extremely vulnerable. Nobody chooses to be a refugee. One imagines that it is not a very pleasant lifestyle. This is taxpayers' money which is being well spent. We must continue to invest the money in question in order that we might try to assist these unfortunate people.
