It absolutely does. Given the importance of this report - and unfortunately far too many reports end up sitting on the shelf and gathering dust - it would be really important for us to have Dr. O'Carroll before us again in six months' time to give us an indication as to what, if any, of the recommendations have been lifted and whether there has been progress on any of these from his independent point of view. We should not do just this one hearing. As a committee, we should take an active interest, track this and keep making recommendations to the Minister and homeless services providers, especially the DRHE, and to the larger local authorities.
