I thank Ms Egan. Family resource centres were mentioned. It is an issue I am working on. The last time applications were open for new family resource centres around the country was in 2018, some five years ago now. At that time, there were more than 90 applications. Of those, 11 successful sites were selected. Tusla told me that my home town of Longford has been identified as a priority in this regard. It is a town with a population of 10,000 people and is multicultural. There are 36 nationalities in the school where Ms Egan teaches.
