I understand that there is significant pressure on housing in some of the satellite towns around Dublin, particularly Kildare and Meath. In terms of providing accommodation for those people, could I suggest that they are asked whether they want to move back to Dublin if they happen to be working in the Dublin area?

I do not suggest that the genuine need in County Kildare, which I know is huge, should not be addressed. However, if some of those people want to move back to Dublin because they are working in Dublin, it would be better that their needs were met in the greater Dublin area. I am just asking for that to be considered.
