Today's session began with a rather crass debate as to whether 4,000 notices of termination would result in 4,000 families being evicted. The Taoiseach maintains that this would not be the case, and that is fine. What modelling does the Government have of exactly how many families will be evicted? What percentage of the figure of 4,000 to which I refer does the Taoiseach find tolerable? More importantly, where will the people I represent and who come to my office go? The Taoiseach stated that they should go to Free Legal Advice Centres, FLAC, or Threshold. I have gone to Dublin City Council and the Simon Community and they have no idea where people should go. How many families does the Taoiseach anticipate will go into homelessness over the next three months? Where will they go?
