This day last week, at approximately this time of the day, a young man was found dead in my home town of Bray, which is in my constituency. He was homeless and had been living in a tent in the town. He was not the first homeless person to die in Bray. His name was Chris and he was 33 years of age. I attended his funeral on Tuesday and, as we walked behind Chris's coffin, a young person, who has also been homeless, said we should get used to what happened because there will be many more people like Chris. There will be many more coffins unless the Government does something. Does the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government sit down and think of people like Chris? Does he lie in bed and think of Chris and all the people like him throughout the State? On my way to the House, I received a message to say the 12 homeless beds in Bray, which had been opened before Christmas, are due to be closed at the end of the month.

The Deputy's time is up.

I have previously spoken about the matter to the Minister. People are on a waiting list to be given one of those beds.

Deputies, too, are on a waiting list.

People are being turned away. In the same month in which Chris died in the same town, those 12 beds will be closed. The Minister has the audacity to stand up and say his plans are working.

Deputy-----

I ask him to ask Chris whether those plans are working.

Please resume your seat. You are completely out of order.
