I will deal with the homeless question and the Minister of State, Deputy Dillon, will deal with the board, to which I made reference earlier.

I mentioned homelessness in my opening statement and the Deputy asked about exits from homelessness. The exits we track are into tenancies. I want to be clear on that point. The exit may be to a housing assistance payment, HAP, tenancy, an approved housing body, AHB, tenancy or a local authority, LA, tenancy. People who leave emergency accommodation and go home to their folks, which sometimes happens, are no longer in emergency accommodation. We track the exits that we can through the DRHE and quarterly reports. Deputy Ó Broin can shake his head all he wants. He can have a look at the situation and come back to me next week. We track exits into tenancies. I will let the Minister of State, Deputy Dillon, deal with the matter of the board.
