Helen McEntee (FG), Meath East

I am putting in place whatever the Garda needs to make sure that everybody - not just us, not just those who were born in this country but that every single person in this country - is protected, and that we support the Garda to do its job in that regard. I repeat that we have provided accommodation with 10,000 beds for international protection applicants in the last 11 months alone. Some 5,000 children in the last two years have been given accommodation. We will do whatever we can to protect those who need our support. That will not change.
