I am interested to hear the views of Threshold, the Simon Communities of Ireland and that of Ms Hayes's team on the following. Like Threshold, most of us who understand how notices of termination work were not predicting a "tsunami" or a "wave" - some of the more colourful language some Members of the House chose. There is a concern that, given all of the information we have, that challenge will increase more significantly than perhaps some of the average figures which Ms Hayes rightly outlined and were a feature of the last year or two. I know it is hard to predict but the witness organisations are in the uncomfortable world of trying to forward plan for these crises. Is there a view, given all the information they have in front of them right now, that we could be looking at a significant rate of increase above and beyond where we have been up to this point in the last 12 or 24 months?
