I thank the Minister of State for his comprehensive and detailed report. I welcome him and his staff to the meeting. I welcome the report and the roadmap. It is a great document. It is great that there is a minimum commitment and that it is extensive, with both food and clothes being given rather than just funding. I also welcome the fact that the Minister of State is chairing the group. It is significant.

There is quite a lot of support for people. Do all the people in need know where supports are available? One would nearly need a PhD to go through all the areas, across all the Departments, including the Department of Justice and the Department of Social Protection.

Is there an easy way for people to find out where to get all of the assistance? That needs to be made available because it is the most vulnerable people who cannot access those things.

I welcome the roadmap as a way forward. I also welcome that there will be a review in 2022, rather than leaving it until much later, such as until 2025. It is a great idea and very welcome.
