Just before I go onto programme B, I will comment on the previous programme although I do not expect a response. It is important that the Department and Tusla open up a better line of communication with some of the homeless services run by the local authorities. I have come across a number of constituents who have been very concerned about registering as homeless because of the fear they might not be accommodated particularly in the case of single parent families with a male parent because there are so many family facilities that do not admit men. It is something that needs to be taken on board and a line of communication opened up.
