Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection
Crosscare Emigrant Support Service: Discussion
10:30 am
Ms Judy McAvoy:
Many cases we see are crisis returns. People returning as homeless with no income are the main part of my work. It is a problem because not having an actual fixed abode can count against a person because they did not arrange housing or have somewhere to live. I find that often naturalised Irish citizens are held to a higher standard for return and can be asked why they did not secure employment or housing although many people cannot do that before they come back.
