They only let a family or an individual stay for a few nights. It causes problems because they are back and we have to try to find HAP for them. In the long term we might need to look at getting a hub or somewhere stable for a few months so that we can find a place for a family or whoever it may be because the short timescale of the bed and breakfast-type accommodation is causing problems. Ms Hurley knows it is not nice to have children going into bed and breakfast accommodation or a hotel in their school uniforms, so I ask that the Department look at this for Carlow. We need something short term so that people can stay longer than the few nights they can currently stay in a bed and breakfast or a hotel.
