Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Housing (Homeless Families) Bill 2017: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. David Kelly:

The Garda Síochána has been advised by the DRHE that if any family arrives at a Garda station, it should contact the DRHE which will seek to arrange accommodation. The DRHE would not refer families to a Garda station unless there are doubts about their identity. They may be referred there to verify their identity, which is important in protecting those who are presenting.
