I apologise, I am going to have to leave after this. Something struck me when Ms Cleary was speaking about older people and pensioners. We see pensioners who are homeless, which was probably something we never saw previously in the lifetime of this State. There are 224 now, and the number is creeping up slowly. I imagine that the vast majority of people who avail of cost-rental properties will not be getting to their retirement age for a long time, but when they do, what happens? There is no way they will be able to pay the rent for cost-rental units, whenever that will be - whether it is in five, ten, 20 or 25 years. Is there a plan to deal with tenants who reach retirement age?
