I suspect that the Minister's reply would not cut it with the young woman I asked him to imagine. He addressed the issue of protest. I think such a woman would seriously consider going down that road after seven years of Fine Gael having been in power.

I will move on. The Minister mentioned that the new figures indicate that 9,527 people were officially homeless in August. How many people have been recategorised since the process in that regard began several months ago?
