I will finish my response to Deputy Ó Broin first. I am trying to read my own handwriting. In respect of bringing information into the public domain, Brendan Kenny did not say that people are still homeless. We have to be very careful here. He said they kept their priority because that was in line with the previous policy in the local authority. Louth County Council admitted that there had been a mistake initially about people it said had been in emergency accommodation or were or were not recategorised. Some of them were in HAP so they were not even on a housing list.
