The last point I will make is that there was significant concern around the origin of people in the context of homelessness. The Minister made a very clear commitment that people's point of origin would not be something that barred them from accessing emergency accommodation. Could Ms Hayes restate the DRHE's commitment to that? I ask her to verify that, regardless of where people who become homeless are from, if they are in need of emergency accommodation on a given evening, they can avail of it from the DRHE.
