Eoin Ó Broin: ...out of emergency accommodation into long term housing. Consistent increases in the overall homelessness numbers over the past five years despite regular announcements of plans and strategies have destroyed confidence in the ability of the political system to deliver.

Paul McAuliffe: One would imagine that if somebody was deliberately destroying their passport with the intention of claiming asylum under a new application name or for whatever reason, that is the next step. They will claim asylum. Of the 5,800 who were refused leave to land, how many went on to claim asylum?

She spoke about the two paramedics who went to rescue a six-year-old child who called for help after she had just witnessed her entire family being destroyed by the IOF.
