I hear what Dr. Lyons is saying but if he looks at the Covid crisis and the 100,000 Ukrainians coming into Ireland, we managed to work at those. All of the people got together, all of the experts such as Dr. Lyons, and we fixed it. Housing, it seems, is one area we are not able to fix. If we are able to house 100,000 Ukrainians with the click of a finger, and the same with Covid, the housing numbers have doubled since the commission was put together. That is disappointing. Certainly, I run the Lighthouse Homeless Café in Dublin. I see the queues every night. The reality of each of those numbers is a life and a family. What they propose is excellent but I hope it is not another book to read.
