I will speak to Deputy Ó Laoghaire's amendments but first, to clarify for Deputy Murphy, I flagged very clearly on Second Stage that I would be bringing these amendments forward. I outlined it then and so, in fairness, that was explained at that stage.

What we are trying to do here is bring us in line with other European countries in order that Ireland is not seen as a more attractive destination than any other European countries. I would also say to the Deputy that we have not been found wanting when it came to supporting Ukrainians. We have put roofs over the heads of 75,000 Ukrainians in this country.
