Committee Work Programme: Discussion (Resumed)

I do not see the homelessness issue as being Home for Good. Home for Good and a referendum on housing and the right to housing are tools that, it is to be hoped, would help to reduce the risk of homelessness. My understanding of what we were going to discuss in terms of homelessness was the operation and provision of homeless services - particularly from a Dublin perspective - the over-concentration of it and the increased delivery of homeless accommodation by private security firms. Those are some of the matters. I do not see Home for Good and the issue of homelessness as one and the same.
