Senator Bacik raised the forum for homelessness. Many Senators have spoken on that and we had an excellent debate in the House last evening on the matter. As Senator Wilson stated, we should have an update on the forum on homelessness, which is taking place today, in the new year. I understand that the Minister of State, Deputy Coffey, has given an undertaken that he would come in to provide that update, which many Members would want to see.

Senator Bacik also called for regular updates on jobs and employment. We had a constructive debate here with the Minister, Deputy Richard Bruton, yesterday and I assure the Senator that we will have many more in the new term.
