I have a point of order as the record needs to be corrected. We were misled in the House last week by the Minister of State and a number of Senators who stated there was support from the non-governmental organisations for the Bill being brought forward. It seems a number of those organisations, including the Irish Refugee Council, the Migrant Rights Centre of Ireland and the Irish Immigrant Support Centre, Nasc, have had to issue a statement to clarify that they have not given their full support to this Bill and that they believe it should be withdrawn.
