Ms Clodagh Carroll:

I completely agree with the Chairman. A long-term plan is required in respect of training, the provision of support for teachers and the delivery of buildings. However, I think the knuckling-down that is required to prepare over the summer months is about the integration of Departments and different levels of supports so that it does not all come down to having to be done in one place, as we said earlier. Everything working as well it can in schools will also be impacted by how it works in the community and voluntary sector, the statutory sector, housing and health. All of those areas are tied together for many of the Ukrainian people coming to Ireland. Integration is key. We must ensure that each piece of the pie, as it were, is supported at this time.
