Ms Hayes mentioned senior citizens becoming homeless. I acknowledge the work done by the team in Dublin City Council, including Cathal Daly and Paul White. That team is strong, decent and humane in its actions with people who find themselves in that position at that age. It is important to acknowledge the work it does.

What is being done to ensure that local authorities are sharing information? When an individual appears in Dublin, Galway or wherever from another county or country, what work is being done to ensure that local authorities engage with each other on the matter? I understand that process can take a while. What is being done to make sure local authorities have a better line of communication?
