I just want to make a point on this. Under the table on the first page it states, "It is important to note that once a referral is made to Tusla, any application for international protection that may have begun is ceased." This is obviously until the age of the individual has been determined. It also notes that "Tusla may conduct reassessment of individuals and consequently, the number of unaccompanied minor/deemed adult applications is subject to change".

Can we ask if we have the correct information for 2022? I am not sure if the table answers my question, which was how many of those referred to Tusla were deemed not to be children. I am asking that question and would like clarification.
