As a prompt, from the data the DRHE provided to me on request, if a family with a three-bedroom need were going into emergency accommodation now, at the upper end, private emergency accommodation would be approximately €140,000 a year. For a family with a four-bedroom need, if they were to go into emergency accommodation now, the upper end would be approximately €180,000 a year. Many of the larger families spend two years plus in emergency accommodation. Is that correct?
