The council has the wherewithal. The criteria are clear if there are issues like that. Clearly young Frankie has real issues and that justifies emergency provision of alternative housing for that child and family. I cannot comprehend how that has not happened. If the Deputy gives me the details, I will see what I can do to pursue that specific case and the broader issue. I have dealt with the optional protocol and have already spoken about the broader issue, although on limited time because it is only a minute. It is difficult to discuss the thing at greater length.
