As this is the Taoiseach's last Leaders' Questions, I also wish him well. For weeks, we have seen growing numbers of men sheltering in tents around Mount Street, which is a stone's throw from here, many of them in appalling conditions. Many of us found it very difficult when we went down to visit them over recent days. I pay tribute to the many volunteers who provided help and support. I very much welcomed the fact that the men were moved at the weekend to what we hoped were better conditions in Crooksling. Unfortunately, those conditions were at least initially very poor. We have all seen it. We have heard reports from the men themselves. I know conditions are improving now and I am getting updates all the time from our volunteer group, which is offering support and help, but there are still men camped on Mount Street. I was there twice yesterday and again saw men who had come back from Crooksling because they had nowhere else to go. On his last Leaders' Questions, I ask the Taoiseach to take control of this issue and ensure that decent accommodation is provided to those who come here seeking refuge.

Over the course of last week, Deputy Bacik and many other Deputies in this House raised the really concerning situation in Mount Street, which is why I asked my Department to act and identify a location where people would have access to sanitation, showers, toilets, meals and services. We were able to provide those at the site in Crooksling. The earliest we were able to provide that was last Saturday and as soon as we could, we did so and moved international protection applicants there. A significant amount of misinformation was provided on the day with regard to the services but let us be very clear. There are 15 toilets and six showers, more are being added at the moment and there is access to a safety net in terms of healthcare facilities, Crosscare and wider facilities.
