Yesterday I attended a protest at the Department of Justice for a woman. She and her husband have three children, one of whom was born in this country. She lived eight years in direct provision. She is from Pakistan and has just completed her degree in early childhood education. She has a deportation order hanging over her head. As somebody who believes in a world sans frontières for people who are desperate, I am delighted with what we are doing for the Ukrainian people. However, it is hypocrisy to be deporting a family where we have educated them and where they have been living under our system, albeit in direct provision. We have a talented woman who is willing and wants to work in our education service being pushed out of the country. Will the Minister look to have the deportation order for Mehwish Saqib revoked?

As the Minister well knows, inflation has proved to be an enemy of our small and open economy many times in the past but the threat is increasing in Ireland and at EU level. Will the Minister use his considerable influence at European level to ensure the effects of inflation are minimised and that inflation which is not so readily attributable is challenged?

I thank Deputies Durkan and Smith for raising these issues. I know Deputy Smith is raising this matter for all the right reasons but equally she knows I cannot give an update on the status of any individual deportation issue or anybody whose status is being considered in our country at present. I am sure the Department of Justice is aware of the issue she is raising given the protest she referenced. I will also make sure the Minister for Justice is aware the Deputy has raised this issue with me and we will see if we can provide a direct answer.

To respond to Deputy Durkan, the challenge of inflation we are facing at present is something more than what Ireland can respond to on its own. We need to look at how collectively in the European Union we can address the root causes of this issue. This is why a summit is taking place at present looking at the issues of energy independence and the affordability of energy. These issues are most effectively dealt with at a European level. I hope some ideas and proposals will emerge from it that will allow us to make progress on the issue to which the Deputy has referred.
