I alluded to the fact earlier that a significant number of people are being supported in housing across the State who do not have a long-term housing entitlement. I am not targeting those individuals for any other reason than that it is not discussed. It is not something that is out there. We are not discussing the fact that there are large numbers of people who are not entitled to social homes because of their nationality. I would like more information to be provided to this committee, and perhaps even to the Joint Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government. I have not seen those figures being provided and it would be very helpful in terms of getting the total figure so we have an idea of what we are dealing with. I hope Mr. McCarthy can do that.
