This mismanagement is at a basic level of communication. People are being lied to from the get-go and something is happening on the ground.

I will finish on this point. What does assessment mean? I am aware of the engagement between the Department and other Departments looking for space or premises. What assessment took place in that situation or in any other location where accommodation was being sought to be provided? As far as I can see, it goes back to the failure to have a coherent plan in place. The approach being taken by the Department seems to be led by speculators making millions of euro from it. What community audits take place in an area, such as Newtown, or anywhere else before a decision is taken to put in accommodation centres?
