Verona Murphy: Outside the box, has there been any provision sought based on what other countries are doing? We are an island. In other countries, such as our nearest neighbour Scotland, cruise liners have been provided. We have a major city here, which we are talking all day about, where we need to provide services. People coming from the Ukraine are used to larger city environments. Has there been...

Verona Murphy: Grand. I just want to qualify that, with the suggestion being that in Scotland the Ukrainian population and other refugees have said they have much more interaction on cruise liners because they have recreational areas. In hotels and anything other than a reception and integration centre, they have nowhere to congregate or have access to play areas.

Verona Murphy: I wanted to come back to what we were talking about with regard to the Oberstown campus. This does not relate to Oberstown but it is about child protection and how we ascertain what child protection is. We think of child protection as the child being in danger from another person or another child. Is that correct? What happens when a child is a danger to themselves? Take for example a...

Verona Murphy: What I mean by that is that a child might be displaying such behaviours to the point where they could actually attack the mother and the mother's life is in danger. If the child injures or, God forbid, kills the mother, he will end up in Oberstown.

Verona Murphy: Never mind the legislation. We have people in limbo. This is an 11-year-old child whose mother, brother and sister are in danger. The child is only 11. Everybody has washed their hands of this child. His placement has been certified as an actual residential provision placement, but there is no residential provision. That is why I am asking. The Department had €95 million and it...
