We support safe harbour. It is a moral and international responsibility when people are fleeing war, violence or famine to stand up and give them shelter when it is needed. Nobody is arguing that point. We are simply saying there must be equality in the delivery of services in this State. The only baseline we are asking for in this situation is one from which everybody who is resident in this State is simply treated equally. I asked the Minister what the targets were. All I am looking for is a figure for how many modular homes will be built to relieve the housing crisis in 2022, 2023 and 2024. How many euro will be spent on delivering that? Targets are not nebulous. They are specific details. I am waiting for those specific details to be delivered here. Cohesion is dependent upon people feeling and understanding they are treated equally. That should be the baseline for any government in a western liberal democracy.
