I propose to take Questions Nos. 459 to 461, inclusive, together.
My Department liaises with a range of stakeholders on an ongoing basis in relation to issues of homelessness, including non-governmental service providers such as Focus Ireland and the Simon Communities of Ireland. Such liaison includes written correspondence, direct communication, participation at a variety of fora and bilateral meetings.
My Department has had recent bilateral meetings with both Focus Ireland and a Simon Communities’ delegation, which included representation from Cork Simon, during which information was shared on both national and local homelessness issues.
