I can tell Mr. Doyle that there is not one single emergency accommodation bed available in the whole of Cork city or county. That is a fact. If someone presents as homeless to Cork County Council today, he or she would not have the opportunity to avail of emergency accommodation. That is what I am told when I ring the housing section in Cork County Council. A number of people who come to my office have told me that.
