Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

There are many legitimate requests for a debate on migration. What is not legitimate is when Members of this House say things that are completely offensive and Trumpian in fact, such as things like "mouthpieces in the media" or that there has not been a debate. I am telling the Deputy that is untrue. The Ceann Comhairle can check the record of this House. There have been many, many debates. For the old social media clip, the Deputy stands up, slurs the media and calls them mouthpieces. That is kind of Trumpian and he will get a few likes and retweets in America.
