No. I ask the Deputy to move to a more suitable location. While he is doing so, I would like to put a number of questions to Professor O'Sullivan. In his concluding remarks, Professor O'Sullivan said that homelessness can be ended by large-scale provision of State-funded social housing by local authorities and approved housing bodies. I ask him to comment on the housing policies over the past couple of years that he thinks have been most successful in that regard and on what policies he would concentrate. Professor O'Sullivan also referenced the number of people sleeping rough in Dublin in an international context. I ask him to elaborate on that point as I did not fully understand it.
