As Deputy Tommy Broughan observed, one of the veteran housing units is located in Letterkenny, in my constituency, and I have seen the excellent service it provides. Representatives of ONE will, on the invitation of Deputy Willie Penrose, be in Leinster House next week to make a presentation. This will provide an opportunity to Deputies and Senators to learn about the services the organisation provides. Deputy Broughan says he has identified sources of funding that could support this work. Our party will keep the issue in mind in devising the alternative budget we intend to bring forward in the coming weeks. I ask the Minister to look at both sets of proposals in order to ascertain whether there is scope for additional funding for this body.
