I thank the Deputy and she is absolutely correct to say that comparisons are difficult to do from member state to member state, given the different costs of living and social services which are available. Obviously, education will remain available to children coming from Ukraine as will the provision of medical cards. There is an entitlement to social protection, once the 90-days in State-provided accommodation runs out, or, if they leave prior to the 90 days, that protection will also kick in.

I do not think that we have ever said that 30% of all Ukrainians who came here were secondary movements; it is 30% in recent weeks or months. I will see if we can get that data for the Deputy. We have a table which compares what is on offer in different member states and we will also provide that.
