Would Mr. Waters accept that some things can be very prevalent and very difficult to count but that does not change the facts on the grounds whatever those facts may be? Does he accept that it would appear that there is a very high percentage of homeless Travellers compared with the percentage in the population at large and that in many cases, there are no social issues? It is just that they do not have a home in which to live because they cannot get local authority accommodation and it is harder for them in the private market.
