My question relates to the commitment given in the Rebuilding Ireland document to removing people from a situation in which they have to reside in hotels and emergency accommodation. Will the Minister elaborate on progress in that regard? I am conscious that some of the units into which people are being moved before they get permanent housing are being managed by housing agencies or associations and have tenancies attaching to them. This was relayed to me yesterday. Is it causing an issue for some people in those tenancies when they expire or go beyond the tenancy? Is it causing difficulties in its own right as well? Is there provision that it will not be the case in this instance?
