Mr. Cian ? Lion?in:

That is not managed by my Department, but the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth is examining various streams to encourage accommodation options outside of the hotel sector. For instance, it offers a home scheme, which I understand is being managed by the local authority system. It also operates an online portal for other individual offers of accommodation. On the specifics of the accommodation recognition payment, it is not managed by my Department so I do not have a line of sight on it but we will talk to colleagues in the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth and come back to the Deputy with information on the uptake levels.
