I have visited the houses in Ballymun and met some of the families there. They were described as modular housing but they are more akin to ordinary housing. The Minister has indicated that there will be 1,000 of these units built across different areas. Does the Minister envisage that these will just be for homeless families or is there a possibility they could be used as affordable housing? I want to clarify the issue. I have spoken to these families and I cannot see how anybody will move them from those houses. These people will not move so will the Government evict homeless families? That is what we will end up with in the near future.
