is those equal relationships with countries where people are coming from.

So for argument's sake, Afghanistan, Georgia, South America, the European Union doesn't have currently returns agreements, doesn't have political relations.

And actually, even when you see that when we try and have political discussions, most recently with Afghanistan, there's blue murder goes up and flags get raised.

So we have to find a mechanism where we can control our borders.

And when people come to the European Union, and at the very end of a legal process, get a negative decision that, no, I'm really sorry, you don't have a legal right to stay here.

We have to find a way to make sure that those four in five people who are currently absconding and living in an undocumented manner and causing pressures on our systems and causing emotions and political problems for every single country in the European Union, which is why the European Council have supported this

And this is why I expect the European Parliament to support this deal on Tuesday.

And we can't like we can't have a situation where countries have been overwhelmed.

We've had our own difficulties in Ireland in the last number of years.

You can search people's homes.

So what I mean by that term is, and I'll talk in the Irish context, if you look in the last number of years, when we had an increase after COVID of people arriving here, we didn't have a system or mechanisms to actually help and keep those people.

We didn't.

We had to take up the uses of hotels.
