I agree with the Deputy. We have had a few discussions on this. It is on the work programme for two weeks from today. We will actually have that Department in. The very reason we are bringing it in is because of the issues the Deputy has raised including the volume of work being done with the Department and the number of people in emergency accommodation, including people from Ukraine and people seeking international protection. Deputy O'Connor is right; a very significant number of contracts to provide this accommodation are being negotiated and signed. I hope that, on that day, we can get a good insight into what is going on. If there are particular areas or questions the Deputy would like to raise with the Department, he should send them to the clerk of the committee because we can then give the Department advance notice so it can have detailed information for him on them.
