We are proposing to open a significant amount of accommodation in the Deputy's constituency. It will be solely for Ukrainians. There will be no commercial element to it. I will come back to the Deputy in writing about Garda vetting and the child safeguarding procedures that will be in place in respect of that accommodation. No doubt similar requirements will apply in Stradbally and other locations. Because there will potentially be a significant number of children accommodated there, we are working very closely with the Department of Education on the educational supports that will be put in place. I am very happy to come back to the Deputy directly on the issues of Garda vetting and child safeguarding.
