Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth

Mr. Kevin McCarthy:

The point about the 200 accommodation centres was that while there have been high profile, difficult and challenging instances of resistance and openings that created difficulties, there have also been very successful low-key openings among that 200, where there is community support. People were welcomed into those communities and it is important to acknowledge that.
