I thank Mr. O'Reilly.
People living in one-bedroom units is a significant issue in Kildare. From speaking to colleagues, it is a significant issue everywhere else as well. Has the Department or the CCMA done anything to allow these people to move into two-bedroom units? The issue has been discussed by this and previous committees. The number of one-bedroom units being built and made available is limited. This is a major issue for people in one-bedroom apartments. Is any thought being given to how to accommodate people in one-bedroom units who are receiving eviction letters or entering homeless services?
