Mr. Wayne Stanley:

Mr. Kavanagh might talk about the excellent work Simon Communities of Ireland is doing in Cork.

If I thought an eviction ban would be effective, I would call for it. We saw that the one we had supported families, in particular, but even when the full moratorium on evictions was in place, during the Covid pandemic, single people continued to become homeless. Bearing in mind the pressures, it is generally single people who end up rough sleeping, unfortunately. It is not always the case but it is generally the case. Therefore, the solutions we need are slightly different, and we need a slightly different understanding of our housing system and its needs.

Mr. Kavanagh will refer to the pressure on the system in Cork.
