There is a need for housing at the Mountrath site as well because it is in a population centre. The Housing Agency might look at that. The site on the Portlaoise Road at Mountrath is fairly big.
The question is about the 90-day limit relating to Ukrainian refugees. We have done well in the context of helping people fleeing the war in Ukraine. What effect will the 90-day limit have on supply in the private rented sector and on homelessness? Mr. Kelly said earlier that he does not know what the effect will be once the 90-day limit ends. I am taken by that. If the Department of housing does not know the effect, there has to be a conversation about that between it and the Department of children.
