In April this year, the High Court found the State was in violation of Article 1 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union when it comes to its treatment of migrants in this country. Article 1 has ten words. It simply states:

Human dignity is inviolable. It must be respected and protected.

In the month that has passed, we saw tents continue to build up outside the international protection office on Mount Street, to the point that last weekend it resulted in an attack of unimaginable magnitude that should be condemned by all parties. It was absolutely shocking to hear the Taoiseach say yesterday that not only were those people not afforded accommodation but that we can no longer afford them protection. We need a full debate on this issue. I echo the sentiment that we need the Ministers, Deputies O'Gorman and O'Brien, to come before the House but I would go further and say we need the full Cabinet for a question-and-answer session to ensure everybody is doing their job, as they claim to be, but also so we can have some responses and a back-and-forth. I would like to have that this week or next week at the earliest.

Following a violent attack on an encampment of asylum seekers, with tents and belongings burnt out, many believe it is only a matter of time before Ireland's far right claims its first killing. The Government made asylum seekers an easy target by forcing them to sleep on the streets. It made 500 other asylum seekers do so as well. It ignored warnings that its sleep on the street policy might lead to something of this kind. We need an urgent debate on the provision of accommodation for asylum seekers and we need it this week. I will put the matter to a vote if it is not agreed on the Order of Business.
