Does the Department share them? Obviously, this transcends to the Department of Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government in terms of the debates with the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government, Deputy Coveney, and the Minister of State, Deputy English. How is the Department of Justice and Equality dealing with this? Is it sharing its strategy? Is the Department making the point that it does not want to go down that route because of the fear of long-term accommodation in communities? Is that a philosophy the Department is sharing with the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government?
