Holly Cairns wasn't actually.
I think Sinead Gibney was there representing the Social Democrats.
But again, they are still kind of presenting this thing that we're the alternative.
But I think if you actually interrogated it, is actually about having a left-led government, whatever people's interpretation of that is, or is it just a government that doesn't have Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael in it and there isn't much depth to it other than that?
Yes, I am.
Yeah, and I think it's probably might be relevant to the finding in the poll as well, which is Jim O'Callaghan came out on top as the best performer cited by 22% of people.
I think most analysis would link that to the different stance that he adopted on migration.
So the Sindo is reporting today on the fact that the EU wide asylum and migration pact is due to come into effect on Friday.
People have heard of this.
It's a common migration policy for all of the EU bloc to come together.
And it's basically a tougher stance on migration.
And parallel to that, there was agreement at the EU about this idea of using what are called return hubs.
So these are outside of the European Union.
The idea is that if somebody fails in an asylum claim in a country like Ireland, and Jim O'Callaghan has indicated that he is
as far back as last year, that he would be supportive or open to this idea.
If the state has trouble returning that person to their country of origin, either because we don't have a relationship, a working relationship with that nation, there's issues around the person's identity.
Instead, the state would forcibly return people to this hub.
It is familiar to what had been a very controversial Rwanda policy that was adopted by the UK government and immediately had a negative effect here when migration over the border increased.
So Jim O'Callaghan has told EU justice ministers that a stronger immigration system will be a priority here.
as we get ready to take on the EU presidency.
