The more information that is out there, the more people will believe what politicians like you and like your councillors are telling them.

And what we don't want to see, Pather, are scenes replicated like those that we saw in Belfast over the last week or so.

And that's potentially what you could be looking at here.

I don't know if it was just loyalists engaged in that behaviour.

Well, it depends on what they're going to do with that information.

But if there's going to be racism, racist attacks against those people who have rightfully been given a home, a social housing unit, then that can't be right either.

Going back to what you said, though, about, you know, your habitual residency, you have 52 weeks in Ireland, as you said, that's not the only criteria to successfully go on a waiting list, because you also have to have a long term right.

to remain in Ireland.

Less people listening think that that is the only box that you have to tick.

It's not.

You have to be allowed to stay and remain in this country and you've gone through a rigorous process to get to that point.

Just this message from Cathy Connor, which I think really goes to proving the point of these counsellors who are tearing their hair out because they can't push back against this misinformation.

Cathy's been in touch with us to say, you're literally just proving that what people are saying on social media is correct.

A large proportion of social housing is going to new arrivals above citizens living here and on lists for years.

Publish the data.

Transparency is needed.

Now, I don't know how Cathy has come to that conclusion given the conversation that we have had, but I suppose it proves the point that the councillors are making today in this piece in the Irish Examiner that people believe that this is true.

All right, we need to leave it there, but thank you both for joining us.

Still to come on the show this morning, airlines soon won't be allowed to charge you extra for your cabin bag.
