I appreciate that. I have to be in the Seanad Chamber by 11.30 a.m.

I thank the ambassador and Ms Klympush-Tsintsadze for their attendance. My first question is on the response of the Irish Government and Irish people in dealing with the new Ukrainian members of our communities who have arrived on our shores. What feedback has the delegation received from refugees who have come here about that response? Is there anything that we could do better or do more off? Is there anything that is making it difficult for people to settle here and integrate?

Are the witnesses satisfied with how the Irish Red Cross is operating? Do they have any suggestions regarding changes to how the Irish Red Cross is working in terms of the distribution of donations in Ireland? Do they have any advice that they we could convey to the Irish Red Cross?
