Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth

Ukrainian Crisis: Discussion

Mr. Liam O'Dwyer:

Absolutely, and that is the point of the email that will go out on Thursday. It will have a 1800 number on it so that people know we have that number and that people are manning those lines. Extra people will be going on the lines from Thursday and Friday to make certain that calls in will be answered. It is important to us that everybody who has pledged gets feedback. I followed up last week with a number of people who had called the Joe Duffy show. Again, I made the calls. It took two or three calls to actually get through. It can be difficult and I understand people saying, "We pledged and we have not heard from you." That is simply not acceptable. We will make every effort over the coming few days so that everybody will be contacted.
