Mr. John O'Callaghan:

The main thing we are doing is we that we had a group to examine the accommodation issue last year. We set up a steering committee that involves us, Tusla, the Departments of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth and Housing, Local Government and Heritage. It is fair to say we started from a low base. However, particularly in respect of those priority areas, the work is going on in all of them to identify sites and make sure we have groups on the ground in the locality helping deliver the services when the refuges are built. Specifically regarding the two the Chair mentioned, in Offaly they decided to effectively prioritise the safe home option to start with.
