Not necessarily. The part of Tusla that provides care for unaccompanied minors from Ukraine or young people in international protection is a significant draw on the organisation as a whole in the context of providing special emergency accommodation and so on. It is standing up as many of them as it can, but it is demand led. In recent weeks and months, we have seen an increase in the number of young people coming from Ukraine, now that they have been given the freedom to leave Ukraine and travel. It is particularly young men.
