I do not have a question; it is more of an observation. A very important part of all our well-being is integration. People have come to Ireland who probably never even heard of it previously and they want to integrate. Irish people are very welcoming. It is important that people integrate as much as possible and are welcomed. That has happened in Ireland in general. There have been a number of incidents which are pretty grotesque, with protests outside where people are staying. Most people completely object to that. It is important that there is integration. In the main, communities have welcomed migrants and refugees to Ireland. It has generally worked. We should work together, where possible, and welcome people who have come from pretty traumatic situations. I am sorry, but I have to leave.
