The Deputy is very good at coming in here and accusing people of all sorts of things. He is very good at accusing the Government of not caring about the citizens of Ireland. However, he does not like it when people in government point out exactly what he is doing. I have the height of respect for Deputy Boyd Barrett and always have. He has essentially presented the march on Saturday as a march against racism, which I agree with, but he then conflated it by saying let us use it to attack the Government on issues relating to housing, which are very real but which are fundamentally different things.

This is a session to allow for statements on the co-ordination and response to those seeking refugee status. It is an opportunity for us all to speak with the unity and solidarity which Deputy Boyd Barrett refers to-----
