Is this a concern of both Ms McPhillips and the Department that needs addressing rapidly?

Tusla is concerned with the number of adults it potentially has mingling in unaccompanied minor settings. It does not feel like it has the necessary capacity to carry out the age assessments that it is...

Was there some specific case of concern about criminality in respect of potential owners that triggered this? Who decided that we needed this?

How many international protection applicants who are the subject of a deportation order have been given a financial contribution to leave? We are going to increase it now. Under the current regime or the previous regime, whatever the monetary amount was, how many people took that up?

James Geoghegan: I will continue my line of questioning to my former Dublin City Council colleagues, Mr. Flynn and Mr. Mitchell. It is great to hear that there are some brilliant things happening Dublin-wide. There was an attempt to divide and conquer and the officials very clearly outlined the projects that are coming. Another project that could bring the communities together would be an extension of the...

James Geoghegan: Some of the measures in the budget are going to assist with that. Mr. Mitchell has made clear that additional funding because of the task force is going to be allotted to Dublin City Council with more to follow, and then the SPVs. How does the SPV build on the initial ambition of two streets? How will the SPVs leverage this further so the Dublin city task force is really brought to life...
