Denis Naughten (Roscommon-South Leitrim, Fine Gael)

I have two brief points. There will be no statutory provision for protection in any legislation, aside from the issue of residency. It is not contained in this legislation or the immigration legislation. There will be no statutory provision whatever for victims of trafficking.

The Minister's administrative proposal does not comply with the law of unintended consequences because it is dependent on assisting the Garda. Amendment No. 18 in my name complies with the law of unintended consequences and I ask the Minister to reconsider it even at this late stage.
