Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I have no doubt at all that upon their return from their efforts on behalf of the people who are subject to such violence, the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste will be in a position to give an update to the House. Through our words and actions, we have shown our view on this issue. We have and will continue to take whatever actions we can or make the statements that are needed to try to create the conditions and play our role in this terrible war and conflict coming to an end, with those who are innocent losing their lives in the way they are.

I want to deal with the issue that has been raised by Deputy Boyd Barrett, among others. The Deputy cannot make the case about divisive language and then use the phrase "target on the backs of asylum seekers".
