Bernard Durkan (FG), Kildare North

I want to again emphasise the urgent necessity to tackle this issue, which has been genuinely voiced by many inside and outside the House, notwithstanding the less than genuine people who are now active in our society and acting in a seditious way to create failure and the maximum possible opposition to and hatred of people coming into our country. They have to come into our country and we have an obligation to welcome, greet and include them in our society. We cannot do that unless we have the information to do so and a special effort is made within the shortest possible time to ensure that information is good and will stand up in order that we do not have to make inquiries at a later date. We should have the information straight off.
