As I said, we are looking at a range of things to assist people here and now. Obviously, we will plan for the future, and some of the areas have been identified. The initial response was from the police, but the responsibility to help people has moved to the Department for Communities, and that includes rehousing people who have been displaced from their homes and supporting them in every way that we can. The deputy First Minister and I met the racial equality subgroup last week, and we have taken up the issues raised at the meeting with the Department to turn around a response. We want to respond to those people and get them settled again as quickly as possible. We will leave no stone unturned to support people during this period.
