I do not understand Government policy sometimes. Much attention has focused on the social welfare cuts and the €56 million being saved. I try always to be objective in my analysis of a situation, but I cannot understand the six months barrier before one is considered for rent supplement. I predict the number of homeless people will be exacerbated owing to that restriction. I understand the Department's concern about landlords being the beneficiaries of the rent supplement and, therefore, escalating rental costs. However, there are other ways of tackling the problem than using a crude blunt instrument. Senator Henry was correct when she said these people do not vote. In that case, do they count? Perhaps politicians have a black spot in regard to that segment of the community. This is reflected in recent Government decisions. The Government is fortunate that the decentralisation programme was such an effective smoke screen in deflecting attention from a budget which contained punitive restrictions that mean people will pay more in the future. The Minister of State said that the comprehensive homelessness strategy would be implemented. What is this strategy? Does the six month rent supplement restriction form part of it?
