Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy. We have had a look at what has been done in other countries around Europe and the way the Deputy has presented it in interviews and so on does not tell the full story. Different countries are doing different things but it is broadly in line with what is happening in Ireland. There are some hardship cases, for example, in Belgium where they are treating it differently but it is not as the Deputy has presented it in the media. He has been quite misleading in his comments in that regard.
