I would appreciate that. I am particularly interested in whether we have good and timely data around, for example, the number of people with disabilities receiving HAP. By those with disabilities, I mean people in receipt of some kind of social welfare payment relating to disability. I am also interested in the number of children in receipt of HAP and the timeliness of the receipt of that information by the oversight committee.

In Vote 34, subhead A13 relates to accommodation for homeless people. That is a huge outlay for the State every year. One piece of information given is that new services continue to be introduced, including additional capacity in Dublin for rough sleepers. During Covid, the push to ensure people could stay in place was much appreciated and incredibly important. Do we have a sense of how much of that new capacity was privately provided services?
