I asked the Taoiseach how much it would cost the State to sign into the EU migration pact and he stated, in front of the Dáil, that he does not know. That is an absolutely disgraceful answer from a Government that has already made a political commitment to sign up to that pact. It is an incredible situation. This is potentially the Taoiseach's first blank check with respect to the cost to the country. Given that we are already paying fines to beat the band for failure to meet commitments the Government cannot hold to, we, the citizens, will have to pay for it in the future. The Government is already incinerating hundreds of millions of euro in waste, including €2.25 billion on the national children's hospital and €300 million on metro north and the shovel has not even been put into the ground. The Government spent €22 million on ventilators that do not work and is spending €50,000 a year on a warehouse to store them at the moment. We have more than 100 electric buses-----
