Mr. Se?n Moynihan:

As we outlined with regard to what the future could hold for the sector dependent on private renting, we produced statistics from the 2016 CSO figures, and we figure we need 40,000 units of housing for older people, which is where we get the figure that around 25% of all social housing should be allocated to older people or built specifically for older people, knowing that it will be there for future generations. One and two-bedroom houses are short in the system.
