We also want to be associated with what Senator Craughwell has said. Coming back to the immigration end of it and the integration in communities, we see people being moved who have been living, for example, in Borrisokane in my county of Tipperary, for ten or 12 years and are integrated into the football clubs, the Tidy Towns and the whole lot. What are the Ombudsman's views on that? We are uprooting more families now. It does not sit right with a lot of people that they have welcomed immigrants into their communities and now these families who have been part of those communities are being uprooted.
