Mr. Brendan Kenny:

Yes we do, and we interact with the local authority and the social services in the area. We get accused of turning people away but we are actually engaging in prevention. We are trying to prevent people going into emergency accommodation because if they go into emergency accommodation, particularly in Dublin, they could be stuck. We try to coax them to go back to their own area. If they refuse to go back they will get accommodation but we do our level best to get them back to where they have the social services and a family.
