I remind the Taoiseach about the section in the programme for Government on homelessness. What, if any, progress has been made on the specific proposals laid out? The Taoiseach is aware that numerous people, whole families in some cases, are crammed into hotel rooms, hostels and bed and breakfast accommodation from one end of this country to the other at horrendous cost to the State. These families are suffering incalculable misery. The proposals in the section of the programme for Government on homelessness would have alleviated those conditions. Four years down the line, what will the Government do about that situation and when?
