The Deputy is making a fair point. The challenges for Ukrainian children fleeing war to access our schools will be enormous, in terms of how we respond from an educational perspective. The Government will not be able to do it all on its own and will have to draw on resources across society, particularly from the perspectives of psychology, language and curriculum content. It will involve working with the Ukrainian community in Ireland and identifying what talents Ukrainian people coming in have, so we can redeploy those talents to help in the mission the Deputy spoke about. I agree with him that it is a significant issue that we have to address. We will spare no effort in doing so.
