Eoin Ó Broin: Absolutely. All of this has been in the public domain over the past week. Limerick involved 24 families in Focus Ireland section 10-funded temporary accommodation with no tenancies. There is a long-term plan over four years to potentially turn those into real tenancies following refurbishment but in the view of Focus Ireland, that is emergency temporary accommodation. The case of Louth...

Eoin Ó Broin: This is my final point. I call on the Minister to review this. He should put those families that are without tenancies back into the figures, and include in the figures other people who are homeless. For example, I refer to those in non-section-10 funded hostels here in Dublin. More than 100 of them are ignored. Tusla-funded domestic violence step-down and emergency accommodation houses...

Eoin Ó Broin: I have a couple of questions and a comment. On St. Michael's Estate and Shanganagh, I have a very specific question. If the local authorities in the two areas in question come forward with specific proposals and seek Exchequer funding for them, will the Minister consider them actively? Is he open to them? With regard to the story in the news this morning about an increase in the number...

Eoin Ó Broin: We often hear Government spokespeople talking about approximately 3,000 exits from homelessness in 2017. The figures actually indicate that approximately half of those were not people exiting from emergency accommodation but people who either maintained their tenancy, with a housing assistance payment increase, or who, before the notice to quit date, found a new tenancy and were never in...

Eoin Ó Broin: It states that, in April 2018, the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government contacted Kildare County Council as lead authority for the mid-east region to discuss families who are being classified as homeless but who are staying in transitional local authority-owned houses or private houses where the families had own-door access with a view to recategorising the families reported...

Eoin Ó Broin: Could that be provided to the committee? Apparently, there is a figure.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Rebuilding Ireland - Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness: Discussion (17 May 2018)
Eoin Ó Broin: The only reason I am asking is because the word "exit" sounds like they are exiting from emergency accommodation. For at least half of them, that is not the case. The Minister might look at that.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Rebuilding Ireland - Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness: Discussion (17 May 2018)
Eoin Ó Broin: The Minister said they had not been contacted and were included. They are saying they were contacted. They were asked to reduce them and they refused.

Eoin Ó Broin: If the Minister had listened to what I said, that is not what they indicated in the email.

Eoin Ó Broin: I will send it to the Minister.
