I can assure Deputy Shanahan it was near enough to the other ones as well. I recognise the importance of what we are doing, but let us not come to conclusions on the basis of false information or false evidence.

I might be igniting something here that should not be ignited, but one example relates to the objections to people who are immigrants or refugees in various locations throughout the country. That should not be happening at all. It is absolutely disgraceful. As for suggesting there is not a benefit, there is a benefit to the country and the economy from all people who come to live in the country for whatever reason. God knows we had a long history, and still have a history, of going elsewhere and contributing to economies elsewhere, and that was for a reason.
