Before the witnesses respond, I should say that this committee will be short-lived. It has a lifespan of two months. The primary focus is on homelessness and housing issues. While we deal with, and are conscious of, a range of other related issues, such as we are discussing today, addiction and other areas, in the responses to the questions we would like practical recommendations that a Minister could seriously consider. Deputies Ó Broin and Coppinger asked what are the immediate next steps. It is not as though we can wait until there is a recovery in the housing market. We need to understand whether there are tangible recommendations the witnesses would like to see this committee make. Could they please identify those in their response to the questions?
