I would like to ask the Taoiseach about the Irish refugee relocation programme. Some 14 unaccompanied minors in Greece have been identified and, with the involvement of Tusla and gardaí, were to be relocated to Ireland. It now appears that the mission has been delayed. If the children are not brought to Ireland before the end of the month the relocation programme and, therefore, their access to safety and ability to come over will end. Can I get a commitment from the Taoiseach that he will ensure that the mission goes ahead? It is vitally important that these children are not let down. Families in Ireland are waiting for them and we need to do absolutely everything we can to make sure they are safe.

I agree with the Deputy that we should do everything we possibly can to make sure those children are protected and safe. I will engage with the respective agencies and Ministers to ensure that we can bring this to a satisfactory resolution. I will take the point on board.
