I thank the witnesses for coming in. I appreciate their work in the area. My question is for the Dublin Region Homeless Executive, DRHE. On the inspections by Dublin Fire Brigade, of which it stated 20% resulted in works to bring the accommodation up to standard in terms of fire safety compliance, should inspections not have taken place before people moved in to ensure all accommodation Dublin City Council or DRHE is contracting is fire-safety compliant before anyone moves in? Were any hostels or accommodation shut down on foot of those inspections?
