I thank Dr. McDonnell for that very interesting response. What springs to mind is the report published last week by Social Justice Ireland, which I have already quoted twice today. The Social Justice Ireland report states that if the cost of housing was included, it would show that 19% of people are living in poverty. That is quite interesting. I would welcome a comment from Social Justice Ireland on the housing affordability issue and the fact that if it were included, it would put a fifth of people into poverty.
