Undocumented Migrants: Immigration Control Platform

2:30 pm

Mr. Ted Neville:

I can finish briefly. Deputy McGrath knows I was not elected. I stood for election and everybody who seeks election puts their platform before the people. I will say this: Irish elections are held in one particular context. They are held in the context that immigration is not discussed. At the risk of upsetting anybody, a vow of silence is taken by every Deputy here before every election not to discuss immigration. It is painted to us as not discussing racism.
