I asked the Minister three specific questions. He did not answer any of them so I will put them to him again. Specifically, will the Government introduce legislation to require An Garda Síochána, when it has knowledge of credible allegations of sexual assault, to pass this information on to relevant organisations where alleged perpetrators are working or volunteering? I did not ask about Garda vetting in respect of that or anything else.

Will the Government introduce annual targets to reduce homelessness? The 2030 target is welcome but if there are not annual targets, how are we to know if we are making progress towards the 2030 target?

Will the Minister give a commitment that the national quality standards will be applied to all providers of emergency accommodation and that private, for-profit providers will no longer be exempted? I would be grateful if the Minister could actually answer those three questions.
