I will take the next slot. I concur with what Senator Fitzpatrick said at the start of the meeting about the work rate. My experience of dealing with local authority staff who deal with homelessness and housing is that they are dealing with an incredible workload and demonstrate incredible dedication. Often we are simply the people who make the connection between the local authority and the client, which is helpful.

I have a few questions about the circular in Mr. Kelly's name. Each local authority is asked to nominate a contact point for dealing with queries on social housing acquisition. Does each local authority have that in place now? If I, as a public representative, or if a tenant or landlord wants to contact any of the local authorities on that list, are they set up?
