Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

I join the Minister for Finance in welcoming the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform's U-turn in the case of a young Nigerian man who was deported last week. I did not hear the Minister say when the immigration and residence Bill will be brought before the House. It is clear that the system is in need of urgent review. It is disgraceful that a young child was snatched from a classroom. Surely what is considered today as wrong was just as wrong yesterday. When will we have the opportunity to debate the matter in the House?
