I will let Thomas catch his breath. He has run across the city, fair play to him. I am surprised the Corkman did not get lost.
In light of the very real concern among local authorities and councillors, TDs and Senators, from both Government and Opposition benches, about the impact of the Government's cuts to social housing acquisition funding, including tenant in situ and housing first, will the Minister give a commitment to revisit that decision and reverse the cut to ensure that local authorities have the funds to purchase homes to prevent people from becoming homeless and to allow people to get out of emergency accommodation more speedily?
