Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions
Dail Éireann — 2022-09-15
============================================================

Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I understand that the meeting with the Minister was arranged but that it then clashed with the confidence motion in the Dáil. That is why the Minister was unable to attend. I am sure the meeting can be rearranged and can proceed. The Minister does chair the national homeless action committee, and some of the people involved sit on that.
As I said, budget negotiations are under way. There will of course be funding for homeless services next year.
As for the particular proposal the Deputy mentioned, North West Simon Community, I might ask the Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, to come back to him on that in more detail because he would be more across it than I am.
