As I said earlier, the trends concerning families and children in emergency accommodation show that there are fewer in emergency accommodation than there were this time last year. We have increased the number of exits and preventions for families so that we find a home immediately for one of every two families presenting. However we are still seeing huge numbers of presentations. They are slightly down in Dublin but it is still too high.
