The Minister said people were advised of pathways but will he follow up to ensure that those pathways deliver and that we do not find families still in hotels by the end of the summer?

I wish to concentrate on the hubs. Deputy Ó Broin referred earlier to the report yesterday from the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission in which it specifically recommends that families should not be in hubs for longer than three months and makes a very strong family welfare case in this regard. Earlier today, I was at a conference organised by Senator Colette Kelleher at which we again heard about the effect on children of being in such situations, not having their own homes, not being able to bring their friends home and all the things that go with having a home. Will the Minister consider Emily Logan's recommendation that families should not have to stay any longer than three months in hubs?
