Unfortunately I must leave shortly as I have another committee meeting to attend. I thank the witnesses for their statements. They are very useful. I have a number of questions. In the past 18 months to two years, 100,000 people have come to Ireland and they are very welcome. They have come from terrible and traumatic situations. What services are there in reality for those coming to Ireland who are fleeing war, persecution and very traumatic experiences?
