On the substantive issue of the homelessness section, I would like to make a number of suggestions. Dr. Eoin O'Sullivan from TCD and Mr. Cathal Morgan from the homeless agency are two people we absolutely should have in. I reiterate there is a genuine difficulty in inviting individual homeless service providers in areas where there are networks. For example, there are more than 40 services providers outside the statutory organisations in Dublin. They have a forum. Alice Leahy and her organisation are on that forum, as are others. Where there is a forum such as that, we should consider approaching the forum rather than individual groups. However, I acknowledge the position in Cork and Limerick may be slightly different. Where there is a structure that represents the voluntary sector, we should invite representatives of the structure and where there is not, we should invite individuals recommended by members.
