I wish to make it clear to the Deputy that there should be a bed available for everybody. The Minister could not be any clearer about this. He has repeatedly said in the House that when it comes to the emergency provision of housing, and we know that it is not a permanent solution, he has asked the local authorities to ensure there is a bed available for anybody who wants it. The Deputy is correct that in some cases people cannot avail of it for whatever reason.
