That would be helpful.
Could Mr. McCarthy outline the number of family hubs delivered, the numbers of persons housed in them in 2017, and the cost involved?
The sole purpose of the Committee of Public Accounts is to probe financial expenditure so I will move to that. I believe the Department has an extra €60 million this year for the provision of hubs across the State. Looking back on 2017, the year we are analysing, does Mr. McCarthy believe it is offering good value for money in terms of the time it takes to create a hub and the amount of time it takes to find permanent housing solutions for the residents of those hubs?
