I am just about to ask it. What the Taoiseach would notice is the sense of fear and panic people are confronted with when they find themselves in a situation they never thought would happen. My questions are as follows. Will the Government implement preventive programmes to prevent families from becoming homeless in the first place and work with some of the housing charities in that regard? Will it look in a serious way at the funding available through the European Investment Bank for the provision of a rental sector that would ultimately provide homes for people, rather than a temporary property solution for them?
