The card Deputy Danny Healy-Rae is holding up is yesterday's No. 1. We will not row over it.

I depend on the Ceann Comhairle to be fair.

I will be fair if the Deputy gives me a chance.

Regarding the programme for Government, the issues of housing and homelessness are reflected in the policy document Rebuilding Ireland. I acknowledge specifically the efforts many people went to in the recent very severe weather in Dublin in dealing with homeless people and rough sleepers. It needs to be acknowledged that they did an exceptional job. However, their work highlighted the fact that there are significantly more people who are rough sleepers in Dublin than had been acknowledged and provision made for before. It is important we now set out a clear programme as to how we deal with these additional people who have been brought into the services, some of them for the first time. Many of our charities, such as Focus Ireland, Simon Communities of Ireland, Merchants Quay Ireland and the Peter McVerry Trust, are dealing at the front line with these people. In light of the additional people who have been identified, I ask that a clear plan and additional funding for these charities be put in place. It is interesting to note that even on the way in today, on the radio, there were fundraising appeals for these charities. In light of the new numbers, I ask that specific programmes and additional funding be made available.

I thank the Deputy for acknowledging the incredible efforts that were put in by our partners in the NGO sector. His remarks are well said. A huge amount of work went in and there were extra outreach teams and people running emergency facilities through the night. As a result, we were able to bring many more people into emergency services to take care of them during this very difficult storm event. We already put a huge amount of money into these services with our partner organisations. As part of the work that has been ongoing since this began last week, there are pathways for each of those individuals who have now come into the system to see how we can get them the proper care and supports on a longer-term basis. This work is concluding at present. I expect a report on Friday which will be a pathway for each additional individual who came into those services over the course of Storm Emma.
