Maureen O'Sullivan (Dublin Central, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I apologise for not having been present to move amendment No. 5; I was speaking somewhere else at the time it was due to be moved. It is relevant in this instance because an exclusion order is sometimes needed against just one individual, not an entire family. Some of the earlier discussion was on the support mechanisms that could be put in place, depending on the age of the individual, in order that the ultimate step of eviction would not be reached. It is a matter of positive engagement and not trying to prevent due process or justice. It is a question of using as many supports as possible in this regard.
