With regard to the position in Dublin, the community welfare service, the homeless persons unit, the HSE's asylum seekers and new communities unit, Departments and agencies dealing with housing, the local authorities and other stakeholders are coming together to facilitate homeless people in accessing private rented accommodation. The community welfare service in Limerick provided a fantastic service during the recent flooding in the city for people who had, unfortunately, been flooded by setting up special clinics, including on the estates particularly affected by flooding.

If the Deputy has an interest in seeing a similar extension of services in Limerick, I will refer back to him with a specific response on the situation in Limerick.
