I mean, are there sums to set people up back home or just incentivise them back to Ukraine out of Ireland?
Do you have a figure in mind either for how much of a contribution or how many people you might want to see return?
You mentioned a decision and it's my understanding that this was due to go to Cabinet this week but was pulled.
What happened?
Were there tensions at Cabinet?
Is the Taoiseach harbour concerns around this plan?
There have been well-aired recruitment and retention issues in the Gardaí for many years now, Minister.
I mean, the Social Democrats, in fact, went as far to say last week that you have opted instead for platitudes and sane bites on the issue.
So what's your response to that?
And what is the figure that you want to see in this year's budget in terms of extra Gardaí?
Can I just ask, there's two policy areas I suppose you've made quite a big play of in relation to Angharadha Siocana.
You recently said, and through a PQ actually, the taser guns provided to Gardaí have yet to be discharged three months into the pilot project.
Does that show they are not needed or will this be expanded to other areas beyond Dublin?
Do we need it at all?
And obviously it'll be a disappointment to you, though, as well, that electronic monitoring of prisoners has effectively stalled because the tender process hasn't worked.
You made a big play of that.
You previously said the system we rolled out by the end of last year at the very latest said it was embarrassing that it hadn't happened sooner.
We move on a little bit to the wider party matters and Fianna Fáil is obviously marking its centenary this weekend.
Give us your assessment, Minister, of where Fianna Fáil's at.
It is a much diminished force from where it was 100 years ago.
