I support Senator Bacik with regard to the joint motion. I also wish to refer to the RTE programme last night. As Fine Gael spokesperson on local government and housing, I believe we should hold a debate on it as well to show what is being done. As the Minister of State, Deputy Coffey, said, it is a serious situation. Anybody who watched the programme last night could not help but be moved for the people and children featured in it, but we must ensure that we are realistic in what we are discussing. This Government has taken, and is taking, the homelessness issue most seriously. It is its top priority.
