I appreciate that. While I do not know the Deputy's second cousin, it is generally those kinds of stories, which we have heard time and again, that have inspired the programme.

I want to be associated with the Deputy's comments. I fully commend the Department of integration and the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, on the job they are doing. It would be irresponsible of them, in the middle of a humanitarian crisis, not to be looking for a whole variety of solutions. There is a difference between that, however, and the Government ultimately deciding to press "go", and sometimes people jump a few too many hurdles and decide something has happened when it has not yet happened.
