Yes. We need to be very careful. As I said at the last meeting, rural Ireland has to be remembered. All of the local authorities that play a huge part have to have a say. Everybody is affected by homelessness. It is important that most of the meetings are not Dublin-centred. I understand that we have to find a balance but we need to make sure that rural Ireland, including Carlow, Kilkenny, Waterford, Wexford, Limerick and other counties, are included. The discussion has to be balanced. I am adamant on that point.
