I support the amendment and reserve the right to put forward a similar amendment on Report Stage to ensure the expedious implementation of the Bill in the event this amendment is not successful. I remind the Government of its key role in chairing the UN special meeting on refugees and migrants and ask it to be in sprit with that and not to effectively introduce constraints on refugees by evasion, time delay and measures such as we heard in the Minister of State's speech, which concerned the money message. I am asking Ireland to step up and honestly fulfil the role it has played internationally and the rhetoric that it has given internationally.
