Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I do not want to personalise this to Ukraine but the Deputy is talking about people living in one area and having to move to another. That is often because we find there is a building that is half-used for which the taxpayer is paying. I cannot stand over that either. All of this is hard; none of it is easy but it all has to be done in a compassionate way. These are human beings with rights but it is just an indication of some of the challenges we face in trying to balance the various responsibilities.
