I assume Minister for Justice Brian Lenihan will also be investigating the ‘behaviour’ of the Diocese of Dublin Catholic social service agency Crosscare in providing support to the Roma Family on the M50 roundabout, they also called on the government to put pressure on investigate human rights abuses against Roma in Romania, and they fed and clothed the family each day. They are also a publicly funded agency. Will he also be investigating the Children’s Rights Alliance of the Irish Association of Social Workers? They are among the 20 organisations who called for humanitarian assistance and human rights in Romania – not immigration reform in Ireland, but even if they had when did NGO’s lose freedom of speech?

The announcement of an enquiry into the role of Pavee Point stinks. When did humanitarian assistance become so unfashionable? And why only Pavee Point?
