Mr. Michael Walsh:

I will leave the piece on the hotel accommodation terminating to my colleagues. In general terms, where we can, we do consult with both local communities and the residents themselves. I would equally frankly say to the Deputy that it is not always possible. We have to recognise the position we are in generally in terms of availability of accommodation. That is the prime determinant at the moment and the absolute priority. Consultation cannot always happen. That is the way I would describe it. We do so where we can. We regularly move on a voluntary basis. For example, for every single one in the Offer a Home scenario, equally with the Red Cross and their pledges, it is all done on a voluntary basis. We seek to do so through engagement with the individuals, through helping them in any aspect we can to make that transition. Circumstances do arise where it is simply not possible. Every effort is made at local level through the community fora and otherwise to find local solutions to local problems. We are absolutely conscious of the issue the Deputy is raising of people integrating into the communities, having established relationships with services or otherwise. We try to have regard to that where we can at all. I would equally stress that there will be some instances where that will not always be possible. I might leave that to my colleagues.
