Mr. Cormac Halpin:

I would like to go back to Deputy Casey's point on homeless families, if I may. In Census 2011 and Census 2016 we put in a lot of effort, along with a lot of the key stakeholders including the Department, the Dublin Regional Homeless Executive, the local authorities and homeless service providers to count homeless people as part of the census. In Census 2016 we had special enumerators who went into hotels where we knew there were homeless people living. It is correct to say that we have not produced the data to date but we will be producing a dedicated release on homelessness in August. As part of that, we will release information on the number of families in homeless accommodation that were enumerated. As with every census release, we will try to be as detailed as we can but issues of disclosure and the maintenance of confidentiality would prevent us going into extremely granular detail. That said, we are very aware of the interest in that data and we will address it in the report.
