Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I thank the Deputy for raising this issue. To be fair to the Minister and the Department of children and integration, they are endeavouring to create a sustainable system. Thousands of people have permission to reside in the State. I share the Deputy's concerns about someone being moved from Westmeath to Monaghan if that person has established roots in the community where she currently lives. On a human level of course I understand fully the point the Deputy is making. We do need to reflect on this. I do not know whether he can give me the details of the case to illustrate the challenges and impact that these changes can have on people and on families.
