Mr. David Carroll:

I wish to underline the issue of health. Not only is Brú Aimsir in Deputy Catherine Byrne's constituency, there is a lot of temporary accommodation there as well. Deputy Byrne will know of the work that goes on and the support there is within the community and she has been second to none in her support for the most vulnerable people in society. The health funding models exist to enable us to intervene with people. The Deputy will know of Sundial House where there are 30 people with the most complex needs and we need additional health resources for them. Brú Aimsir also needs additional health resources and the capacity to intervene directly on site. Health intervention is critical.

On the wider point of NAMA, even if this was to come through, where would the houses be? The issue is simple. We have enough data to be able to assess how many homes we need, where they are to be, what type of housing we need and what support we need to give households so that they can sustain themselves.
