Accommodation for International Protection Applicants: Statements
Seanad Éireann — 2023-02-22
============================================================

Eileen Flynn (IND), Nominated by the Taoiseach

I thank the Minister for coming to the House today as we mark Ash Wednesday. My mother – Lord have mercy on her – used to ask why people who wear the sign of the cross on their foreheads would do so if they were just going to be going around hypocritically. That stands with me today, for one reason or another.
