I have many questions on this. I have read the amendments and from some discussions with the Department, it very much reads as though if people are in a designated centre then they are on the rate set by the Department of children. That would not have been my understanding from the press reports up to now, but maybe that is something the Minister can clarify.

Again, this to an extent goes to the other Departments, but does the Minister have a sense of where these protection centres are going to be? Do they include locations where Ukrainians are already, be those hotels or bed and breakfasts, or will none of the existing locations where Ukrainians are based be designated?
