It is very concerning that very few of them would have a support plan.

The final question I have is on the DHRE's report and the local connection. The report says that the DHRE makes dedicated beds available to the rough sleeper outreach team for people it encounters rough sleeping regardless of whether they are from the Dublin region. Am I to understand that if the outreach team meets people who are sleeping rough and cannot prove a local connection, it is able to place those people in accommodation? Is it the case that if the central placement service or the freefone worker has said the person is ineligible, the outreach team is still able to place those individuals in accommodation?
