Deputy Barry has prompted one question because people need to understand the seriousness of the situation in Dún Laoghaire. To my knowledge, from my clinic in Dún Laoghaire, there are people who have been on the housing list for up to 19 years. I would be interested to know if Ms Keenan has figures on the average waiting time. In any event, it is shockingly long. Does Ms Keenan believe we can meet the housing need? She might clarify the position on the latest figures in Dún Laoghaire. How many people are on the housing waiting list and how many on HAP transfer lists and the rental accommodation scheme?
