We spoke of house prices and rent. Dr. McQuinn expects them to go up in the medium term. Homelessness is another factor in the housing crisis. The Government has, with the support of some Independents, voted to lift the ban. There were 3,000 eviction notices in quarter 3 of last year, many of them falling due on 1 April, in eight days’ time. Has the ESRI done any assessment of homelessness? Does it see homelessness following house prices and rents? Will it rise in the coming period? What is the ESRI’s assessment of where it is going?
