They arrive on Tusla's doorstep.

I ask Mr. Delaney or Mr. Ó Conaill to come back to the committee with a note on what will be actively done now to work with the Department of Justice, which is in charge of the IPO, and the Department of Foreign Affairs. Those two Departments might send us back a note in the next two or three weeks or so. What steps will be taken now? What will be pursued so that Tusla can work with the Department of Justice and the IPO to deal with this issue of unaccompanied minors? I have a number of questions. Is this being followed up actively with the Ukrainian authorities and particularly with the Ukrainian Embassy? What measures have been put in place by the Department of Foreign Affairs to contact the authorities and particularly the local Ukrainian authorities to get a handle on what is happening at the airports where they are leaving from? What measures are they putting in place for unaccompanied minors who are getting on the planes? When they arrive at the IPO, where the IPO finds that a young person has arrived and it is clear that he or she is over the age of 18, what will happen at that point? When somebody arrives and it is clear that his or her documentation may be faulty and we are not able to establish that he or she is under the age of 18, what will happen?
