Mr. John-Mark McCafferty:

In 2022, of those who entered homelessness from our system, 158 were on a social welfare payment and 138 were in waged or salaried employment, so the figures are very similar. We will come back to the Deputy on the historic figures. From our experience working in the sector, back when rents started to increase in 2013 and 2014, the pressure points were in relation to people who are on social welfare, and trying to access or who would have traditionally accessed, rent supplement. Those rent supplement levels were relatively low, on the margins of what was needed in Dublin city. That was the issue and now, as the Deputy says, homelessness is a real and present danger for those who are salaried. We can get back with more specific figures
