Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I thank the Deputy for raising the issue. I joined him in Youghal recently, where we visited a number of schools and the family resource centre organisation regarding a location for Youghal. A permanent base has been sought and we will work with Cork education and training board, ETB, to see whether a solution can be found. I pay tribute to all the schools for their generosity and warm welcome for Ukrainian children in substantial and significant numbers. The warmth of the welcome was something to behold, as was the dedication and commitment of the teachers to all in their care. In that context, we have to recognise that type of community response where significant numbers come into a given area. I will share that with my Government colleagues in respect of supporting the community in a number of ways.
