I am conscious of time and I would like to hear from Threshold. I made some remarks about terraced homes and apartments. I know the number of people who come through Threshold's door. I see it in Galway with constituents I am trying to support. The first port of call for anyone facing homelessness is to go to Threshold and have the notice to quit validated. I appreciate the service Threshold offers. It is wrong that a terraced home or apartment would be leased out in its entirety - I understand if people want to let rooms - continuously turning over tourists. That was not its intended purpose. Can I have Ms O'Reilly's thoughts on that?
