If Mr. Kelly wants to refresh his memory, I asked this question of the Department of Housing, Local Government in 2020 at a meeting of this committee, I believe. It would seem to me that trauma-supported or trauma-led care of people in homelessness is quite a complex issue. A bare minimum would be to include Garda vetting as part of a service level agreement when entering into a contract with a private provider. We are now two years into that discussion.

Mr. Doyle has said he does not have his homelessness person here, so perhaps he will not know the answer to this, but in the documentation from the discussion with the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage there were 133 complaints about private providers in 2020. Is it known whether that number of complaints has gone up or down?
