To finish off, somebody made the point that the Peter McVerry Trust has a crucial role to play in the housing crisis. We want to see the day coming when it can get on and concentrate on that role and that the issues that were there previously are put behind everyone in the organisation. I wish the witnesses well and as Deputy Ó Broin mentioned, in 12 months' time we might get an update when the organisation has moved on. Then we will concentrate on homelessness and housing issues for our discussions.

The committee will further consider this matter with representatives from the Department of housing, the Dublin Region Homeless Executive and the Approved Housing Bodies Regulatory Authority. I propose that we suspend the meeting briefly to allow the representatives to take their seats.
