Pat Casey: I will start with the homelessness figures. If there is any lesson has been learned today, it is not to go out in public without the accurate information. Maybe the Minister went a little too far in adjusting the March figures. I wish to focus on the homelessness figures and the use of both hotels and supported accommodation.

Pat Casey: It goes back to the inaccuracy of figures. The Minister has spoken throughout the meeting about having accurate and complete information but he went into the Dáil on a whim last night and made an allegation against my party.
