Homeless Persons Data

Why is Deputy Ó Broin so desperate to see the figures go up? If we go by Deputy Casey's definition, anyone in the private rental sector for two years might be included and counted as homeless. That does not make sense to me. We must be honest about the numbers. I was upfront about this when I discovered it. I have mentioned it previously. We are still working through this. We do not have the data Deputy Ó Broin claims to possess. The Deputy admitted to the miscategorisation there. He admitted that it is happening. I am trying to get to the bottom of it.
