I raise the issue of the former Ashbourne House Hotel in Glounthaune. I understand that accommodation and migration are very topical issues at the moment and I need to highlight this case on the floor of the Dáil. I was called to the former hotel on Friday two weeks ago and met more than 30 families who received a letter that day to tell them they had to vacate the premises by the following Wednesday. They were not just going to another accommodation centre in the general area but were moving to Cork. There are people living there who are in college and others who are attending autism classes locally. One school is potentially going to lose 17 kids, over time, which will lead to the loss of a teacher. One guy is working for the county council. These people are, in many cases, being given five days' notice to leave the setting. It is an appalling situation. I do not think that is how we should be settling issues relating to accommodation.

I thank the Deputy for raising the issue of the former Ashbourne House Hotel in Glounthaune. I know the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, is familiar with the issue and the concerns that have been raised. We are in a difficult situation whereby we are trying to manage accommodation on an almost daily basis. We are trying to move people from places to free up spaces for others. I can ask the Minister or members of his team to talk directly to the Deputy to see what options might be available.
