Mr. Wayne Stanley:

More generally, these issues are being worked through. I know from our work on the national homeless action committee, NHAC, and the County and City Management Association, CCMA, in particular, and the local authorities are starting to meet together and regularising the way this is implemented. At the early stage, there were many concerns around the quality of properties and the stress that it might put on maintenance systems with perhaps a reluctance in some local authorities to engage in it in that way but I believe there has been ongoing work in that space and it is improving. As Deputy Ó Broin was setting out, it is a very challenging vista in front of us and the outcome and outflow, as opposed to the intention, will be very much where we see the results, and we will see that over the coming months.
