The complaint I have received is that people are sleeping rough in the vicinity of Mount Street who are the direct responsibility of the DRHE and there has not been sufficient, or any, engagement from the outreach team. That is why I was asking that question.

Finally, on the rough sleeper count, there was an issue in November 2022 when the outreach team counted 180 people sleeping rough on the streets of Dublin and the official report of the rough sleeper count was 91 people. What was the reason for the difference between what the outreach team was counting and that figure? Can the DRHE explain the methodology?
