We have children arriving in this country and this has landed on Tusla's doorstep at a time when we are under huge pressure. I will refer to the staffing issues and what is being done in a minute. I know Ms Duggan is trying to take some measures to get on top of this. However, we have huge resources issues and huge problems with getting suitable accommodation. The tap is still turned on and the sink is overflowing. These people in Tusla have been handed this issue. Where does it begin and end?

Why has this not been taken up with Ukraine? By the way, the ambassador is very accessible. She is a very nice woman. We have met her. She is trying to deal with the difficult situation of the illegal invasion of her country by Russia.
