Following on from this morning's debate, Ukrainian families have been housed in a number of hotels in the Limerick area and a number of schools have been in touch with me that are prepared to accommodate the children of those families as pupils. Some of the schools with vacancies are a long distance from the hotels. How will they access the schools? Will a separate system of transport be provided? As demonstrated by my colleague, Deputy Cathal Crowe, the present school transport system will not do the job.

Second, a number of the people who operate and manage the hotels have told me that when the Ukrainians arrive, there is nobody there on behalf of the State to advise them on accessing the social welfare system, the healthcare system, etc. Will that be rectified or will we depend on the people who own the hotels to advise them on accessing those rights?

No, there are a number of hubs, including one in Limerick-----

Yes.

-----that represent the State and provide all that information, including on PPS numbers and so on to enable them to get social welfare income.

That is not my information.

They are there. I will follow up on what the Deputy said. Reception facilities are there as well. Thousands of PPS numbers have been issued. It has been rapid. A total of 19,200-odd - I think I gave the figure earlier - have arrived into the country. I accept many people are working quickly on the hoof in a fast-moving crisis. The public servants are working. I will take the Deputy's-----

School transportation.

We will have to work on transportation for schools. It cannot be the school transport system as normal but I take the Deputy's point on the need for transport, of course.
