May I come back briefly on that? I do not envy the officials in their job. This is for us as public representatives. I deal specifically with Cork County Council and it has been exceptional but I just feel it is not being supported by the Government bodies or the Government parties, even. A lot of people come into my office who have children with additional needs who are in totally inappropriate two-storey, two-bedroom houses. Children try to jump out the window and they are fighting because you cannot put a safety lock on the window upstairs because of health and safety. The council seems to be restricted. It does not have the appropriate stock to put those families in appropriate housing therefore freeing-up a three-bedroom semi-detached house, a detached house, or whatever, for someone else. Is there a way that we, as elected representatives, can work with the Department or the councils to improve this or to speed it up? Sometimes it is all "us and them" and we are fighting and it is the blame game. I do not want to play the blame game. As legislators, it would be good to hear if there was something that the officials here could change in the morning - something that could be done through legislation and once it is done they could do X, Y and Z and that it could start in 12 months.
