Dr. Rosaleen McDonagh:

I am sorry. I have a speech impediment. It goes up and down so I ask the committee to bear with me. I was echoing what Senator Flynn said about how, for ethnic minority people or displaced people, their situation becomes more intense when in a war or conflict situation. There is talk of a payment being given to Irish hosts who are willing to take in or let Ukrainian people live in their homes. Within the human rights framework, we should not leave any window open for exploitation or, indeed, trafficking. I hope any funding would be given to the Ukrainian families, and not to the Irish families, because they need their own agency and independence.
