Mr. Pat Doyle:

On the Deputy’s point around Housing First and scattered sites, in all the Part Vs, we are the largest provider of Housing First in the country. In all the Part Vs available, we have never been offered a Part V for Housing First. That is a missed opportunity. We need to build that in now to developments, that a certain percentage are Part Vs. Some 55% of homeless people are single. Housing First is the approved model and has been supported by every Government for the past number of years and the Part Vs need to come in under that now as well.

On the LDA, it is not factual, but my worry is that we have to communicate everything we are doing in an area. We do not necessarily know what its plans are in the area. We just need to make sure and watch that the communication that we have with the local authority continues and we get that with the other players as well.
