People are being turned away from emergency accommodation. As Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Deputy O'Brien has a responsibility in this area, rather than putting it all on the Opposition. We have been making him aware of this issue on an ongoing basis. I will engage with him on it further, but he has a responsibility in this area and he cannot charge that I and other Deputies have not being engaging with him on the issue or raising it with him. It is on the Dáil record that we have done so. I have been doing so on an ongoing basis.
Why is the National Quality Standards Framework, NQSF, not being applied to all providers of emergency homeless accommodation, including private providers?
