The witnesses cited a figure for the percentage of homeless people who were identified as being Travellers. Of course, there could be many more who just have not been identified. The committee has heard credible reports that up to 40% or 50% of homeless people in certain cities in Ireland are Travellers. Have we a local authority-by-local authority breakdown of the percentage of homeless people whom we know are Travellers?
