Michael McGrath (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I am making the point. The Deputy will have seen in his constituency, throughout Cork and around the country the amount of house building in which the State is directly involved, with a view to meeting the needs of that family. It is clear for everyone to see. The numbers are there. If the Deputy wants to provide me with the details of the individual case to which he referred, I will work with him on it. We have made huge efforts to increase the number of emergency accommodation places. The Department of housing worked with local authorities last year to bring an additional 2,000 beds into use for homeless emergency accommodation. I am happy to work with the Deputy off-line on the case.
