I thank the Cathaoirleach. The Department has provide some figures on people in temporary protection. These figures obviously relate to Ukraine and stood at 68,000 in 2022 and 32,000 in 2023. We have heard various figures regarding the number of people from Ukraine who are here at the moment. Just because 104,000 people have been given that protection does not mean that this is the number of persons who are here now.
