I would not mind getting this on the record, particularly in terms of Housing First. One of the things that we come across all the time is that when housing developments are proposed, everybody says there are too many one-bedroom units. What is the breakdown of people who exit homeless accommodation who need one-bedroom units?

With regard to the progress on Housing First, it was based on a policy document from 2009 and was meant to provide Housing First tenancies and wraparound services. Has that all but been abandoned? I do not mean it has been completely abandoned but the Dublin Region Homeless Executive is obviously under huge day-to-day pressure and it is very difficult to think in a more long-term or strategic way. I do not mean that as a criticism of those present and I know the lengths Mr. Durkan and Ms Hayes have gone to in order to find beds for people on my behalf. However, is the service under so much pressure at the moment that Housing First and the wraparound services have almost been put to the back seat?
