Can Ms O’Reilly come back in? She just talked about returning Irish. Many people have been affected by the social welfare system, for example, and not meeting the HRC. How would that impact on returning Irish who may be impacted by low pay? Does she have any idea of the numbers of people who are currently applying for social housing when they return and going on the social housing list and how many are families? Does anybody have the type of information of how many people are applying directly to social housing if they do not meet the habitual residence requirement? Does that data exist and is it available?
