Some of the witnesses raised the definitions. I ask for further clarification on what the definitions will be, especially in terms of the "reckonable residency", which was also brought up. It would be helpful for the committee to receive definitions and further expansion. Could they come back to us with that?

On the issue of data, can Mr. Kelly clarify what he said in his introduction regarding people who are currently on the housing waiting list? The numbers are comprised of 8,800 persons from the EU or EEA and 5,600 people who are non-EEA, which equates to approximately 25% of the current waiting list. Is that what he said?
