Here is the term that is in this document: "Before the opening of any facility, the Department engages with local representatives to provide information." That does not happen. I represent two counties which have seen several centres opened for emergency accommodation. In one instance, in respect of modular housing in County Cavan, I was informed beforehand. For all the others, not a single time have I had information to convey to my constituents; it has been as a result of my seeking it out. In every instance it has proved a battle to find the true information.
