The department sent updates to residents who were affected to let them know this.

Residents who wish to continue to receive state-funded accommodation will be provided with a placement at a new location.

Couldn't get any insight into where that might be or when exactly residents will be told.

They say every effort is made to keep residents as local as possible.

However, it's not always possible.

They say it's open to people concerned to make

their own arrangements should they wish to stay in the current area.

But as you heard, up to 100 residents now looking for private accommodation in a town like Killarney, that's going to be very difficult.

Indeed, OK.

Well, this committee is chaired by Fianna Fáil TD John Lahart.

It heard from Charles Harrison.

Now, he's the international manager for the GAA, and one of the issues he was asked about was in relation to the development of the games in the U.S.,

And this was on the clampdown on immigration, the actions of ICE, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency, and whether this had in any way impacted on GA games or gatherings in America.

It's very hard to put a figure on how many Irish are undocumented in the US.

It could be anything from, say, 10 to maybe 50,000.

I think it's more widely accepted.

It's likely to be at the lower end of that scale.

But it is likely some, probably many, are involved in GA in their community.

So given this,

John Lahart had asked Mr Harrison if the GAA had come across any sensitivities or any vulnerabilities among its members in relation to this issue.
