I will just dip into one example regarding accommodation. The Department will be moving to look at alternative large-scale accommodation and modular or rapid-build housing, whichever description Mr. McCarthy wants to use. A contract has been signed with Sisk to deliver this, and I understand five companies are subcontracting. Has a contract been signed with them? Why did it take from April, when the Minister visited the sites - I have a reply to a parliamentary question on the matter? Why has it taken so long? That is just one minute aspect of a range of Departments that should be co-operating with the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth.
