It is really important that Mr. Allen has brought up the achievements, which are critically important, but also our definition of what homelessness is. There are many homeless families in a hotel on the Kylemore Road who are from many different ethnic minority groups etc. Technically, because they are not on the streets, they are not homeless. If the number has gone down to 80 families on Dublin's streets, I can understand that. Mr. Allen is right that we must look at the different definitions of homelessness and that should be clear to people and to wider society as well. Thanks for reminding us of that. Do any other members wish to come in?
