Ivana Bacik (LAB), Dublin Bay South

I, too, call for the Minister to take questions in the Dáil tomorrow.
It is important, in particular after we saw what was, in effect, a summary dismissal of the chair of the RTÉ board on Thursday night, that is, the forced resignation of Siún Ní Raghallaigh.
I also seek a debate on rough sleeping and what the Government proposes to do to tackle the crisis of rough sleepers. There are more than 1,000 international protection applicants sleeping rough on the streets of our capital city, many around the corner from here on Mount Street. It is a particularly poignant issue for us following the death in my area at the weekend of a local homeless woman, Ann Delaney on Aungier Street. I offer my sympathies and condolences to her family. I attended the vigil on Aungier Street last night. What does the Government propose to do to address the growing crisis of rough sleepers and people who are left without shelter and are forced to sleep on our streets?
