I support my colleagues. I was in Cork Penny Dinners, which is a charity in Cork that works with many homeless people and many people in poverty, and I remember engaging with Caitríona Twomey, one of the co-ordinators and volunteers there. I was talking to people who were homeless and who use that service. These are really intelligent people who have political minds of their own and who want to engage in the political system. They are really vulnerable but they want a say, and we should do everything to make that possible. At the end of the day, they are all citizens and they should all have this right. We should reduce barriers if possible.
