I have no difficulty in my job. I have no difficulty appearing before the committee, or speaking in the Dáil every day, as I do, on these issues or going in front of the media to be held to account. I do it every week in this job. My concern here is that the Deputy is obsessed with the number and the politics of the number. My only obsession is finding solutions for people in emergency accommodation, some of whom may be trapped in emergency accommodation because they are not in the right type of emergency accommodation and they will never find a successful pathway out of that accommodation.
