Describe the bug
When a namespace is applied to velodyne_transform node the following errors comes up:

[velodyne_transform_node-1] terminate called after throwing an instance of 'tf2_ros::CreateTimerInterfaceException'

[ERROR] [velodyne_transform_node-1]: process has died [pid 214935, exit code -6, cmd '/opt/ros/humble/lib/velodyne_pointcloud/velodyne_transform_node --ros-args -r __ns:=/namespace --params-file /tmp/launch_params_9knvt78y'].

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Add to the official launch file provided:
namespace=Namespace

velodyne_transform_node = launch_ros.actions.Node(package='velodyne_pointcloud',
                                                      executable='velodyne_transform_node',
                                                      output='both',
                                                      namespace=Namespace,
                                                      parameters=[params])

Expected behavior
The node should be able to correctly work with a namespace provided
