I hear what the Deputy says. A lot has been done by the Department in terms of people fleeing the slaughter in Gaza. Medevac which I am working on with the Minister, Deputy Carroll MacNeill, has resulted in many people needing medical attention coming here. Student visas have been issued for people coming here from Gaza. There were sports clubs that came during August that got visas and went back home. We are very sympathetic to it, but what cannot happen is that we have this haphazard discretionary basis - I am not suggesting the Deputy is advocating this - whereby a Minister will say, "Sure, we will let this." I want a rules-based system. If we have a rules-based system, at least everyone will be able to understand how it operates and people will know the basis upon which decisions are being made.
