I thank the witnesses for coming in today, even at short notice. I thank them for all the work they are doing in this area. The subcommittee often hears about how HSE staffing is in crisis and how understaffing is causing crisis throughout the healthcare system. I really hear what the witnesses are saying about accommodation. It is especially difficult in the Dublin area for people to work and pay for accommodation. Hardly any accommodation can be had now. There are mile-long queues of people looking to rent. When the witnesses look at that issue, how do they think the HSE can make itself a more attractive employer, in general, bearing in mind there is an ongoing housing crisis? What is the answer? Will they give us an overall view of what they think the answer might be?
