As a country, we have welcomed more than 100,000 people, including in Mr. Delaney's home town, who are in modular accommodation, and that is a good thing to do. It is not acceptable, however, for a country that has relied on this small State to take in more than 100,000 people to somehow have a laissez-faire attitude towards minors arriving here. I ask that the Department take this up with the Department of Justice and the embassy. There is a responsibility on the Ukrainian authorities to ensure that minors are not getting on planes unaccompanied. There are other countries that are the worst offenders in terms of allowing minors on planes.
