I am sure the Deputy is familiar with the fact that Dublin City Council is now producing far more opened accommodation which has been renewed and refurbished for families. The priority at the moment is for families with issues around homelessness to be dealt with as quickly as possible by the local authority. However, it is going to take us some time to come to terms with all of the different elements of the housing crisis. The Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Alan Kelly, will be bringing proposals to Cabinet shortly on areas around rent certainty.
