I thank Dr. Muldoon very much. I have one small question for Dublin City Council. The Dublin Region Homeless Executive collects data regarding rough sleepers who pass away on the streets. Every organisation should be collecting that data. It is vital data now. I know people who have died on the streets and in other towns and cities and there is no data being collected. If we cannot collect the data, how are we going to plan to try to prevent it? Is that something the witnesses are looking at doing?
