It was interesting that Mr. Jordan made the point. If it is the case that we will throw up a few modular homes on any bit of land that is available, I do not find that acceptable. I do not think anybody does. The lack of communication in our communities is giving rise to the far right being able to cause problems and riots. We are expected to integrate. That is what communities do but not if they are placed in the back end of nowhere on a site that is not suitable as a building proposition for Irish residents and citizens, yet that is being offered as a solution for the Ukrainians, as Mr. Jordan put it. That is not satisfactory. It is doing untold harm to the integration process and how we deal with refugees on a community level. Would he not agree or has he given that any consideration?
