Paudie Coffey (Fine Gael)

Fine Gael also would like to see included a definition of homelessness. A housing Bill is passing through the Oireachtas without a clear definition of homelessness which is one of the most significant challenges facing us with regard to housing. Will the Minister of State take on board the views of the House? It is clear that strong views are held on a clear definition of homelessness. Unless we know what we are talking about we cannot put in place the measures to address this challenge.
