Ms Rebecca Keatinge:

I may defer to Professor Whyte on the legal obligations on the State and the primary education response.

I will respond briefly on the "adequate accommodation" definition. I pointed out those characteristics of the right, which include security of tenure, accessibility, affordability, availability of infrastructure and cultural adequacy, habitability and location. Those characteristics are the touchstone in terms of what adequate provision would look like.

As for those two examples, the situation of the homeless person who has refused an offer of accommodation is quite familiar to me in my own day-to-day practice. This constitutional protection operates rationally and proportionally, and in circumstances where an offer has been made, I cannot see that it will come to the assistance of that individual in circumstances where that offer was made of adequate housing.

As for the separated family, in the current architecture such a family would be able to register their housing need with the local authority and I am not sure it will recast that in any great sense. I suppose our overarching aim with this is that it influences the broader housing infrastructure and essentially enables more progressive policies that increase housing supply that ultimately mean that those two families will not be waiting for a considerable period in perhaps insecure private rented accommodation and they may be able to get more secure accommodation, be that through greater security of tenure or State housing.

I might pass over to Professor Whyte on the analogy with primary education.
