Ms Gerasko spoke briefly about the Ukrainian children who were abducted and kidnapped. There is a whole piece there in terms of supporting their reintegration into their communities. I do not know if some of them have returned. What role could Ireland play in that?

Senator Ahearn asked how many Ukrainians are in Ireland. I am trying to think of practical things Ireland can do in terms of mental health and psychosocial support opportunities and programmes for young people to come to Ireland for respite. It might be something practical that could be explored for an element of that trauma to be alleviated, even if only in the short term.
