Analysis of Private Rental Sector Discrepancies: Discussion (Resumed)
3:00 pm
Mr. Cormac Halpin:
I guess it depends on whether they consider themselves to be a separate household. When the enumerator was delivering the census form in 2022, he or she would have explained the household concept. If people have separate living arrangements and do not share a meal - in effect, they are living separately within the same household - they have an entitlement. That is subjective and at the discretion of the individual households.
