Ms Mary Hayes:

I will start with what we see on the ground in Dublin. It is important to say that we are seeing relentless presentations as opposed to rising presentations necessarily. It stays within a certain range. What happens, and the reason the homelessness figures increase month on month, is we are not keeping pace. The numbers moving out into a tenancy are not keeping pace with presentations. We are concerned about the drivers. We know a lot of information about the drivers of homelessness. It is that we respond and react to them. We will have to see whether notice of termination for rental under the recent legislation will increase security of tenure for tenants because landlord sale is a key driver for family homelessness.

On the single side, we are concerned about institutional discharge from one institution into another. That does not seem to be a well-thought through or planned approach to homelessness. That is particularly so with IPAS, which is driving about a quarter of the presentations of single homelessness. Does Mr. Mulhern want to talk about tenant in situ?
