Gabrielle McFadden (Longford-Westmeath, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I just want to clarify, for the record, that in Fine Gael there is no pact not to discuss this situation at an election time, as has been said. I want that on record. I would never sign up to anything like that, because that is an outrageous thing for anyone to say. There is no pact within Fine Gael, and I speak for Fine Gael. Not to let my manners go astray, I want to thank the witnesses for coming before the committee, as I did not thank them initially. I want to thank them for making my mind up for me completely - not that I needed them to do it. After what I have heard today, I completely support the Migrant Rights Centre Ireland. After hearing the tone of the witnesses' opening statement, I completely support MRCI. The Immigration Control Platform has just made it more firm for me, and I thank them for that.
