Mark Ward: I welcome all the witnesses today and thank them for their opening contributions. It was good information for me. I am from Clondalkin and in my area we have - and I use this term lightly - one of the more successful direct provisions centres. When I say successful, I mean successful in relation to how the people and the residents there have integrated into my community. They are part of...

Mark Ward: I thank the Minister for his statement. I just want to mention the 6,000 people who are hosting Ukrainian nationals. It is a really unselfish thing for people to do. While the financial contribution is welcome, I do not think it is the main reason people are doing that. I want to put that on the record. I am bit a unclear. Has any consideration been given to extending this scheme to...
