Public Accounts Committee

2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 24 - Justice and Equality

9:00 am

Mr. Aidan O'Driscoll:

It is increasingly extremely rapidly. We did go through this in some detail earlier. It is increasing because of capacity limits. We have hit capacity limits in our normal accommodation centres. I mentioned earlier that we do not wish to be in the business of housing people in hotels. It is absolutely not where we want to be but in an emergency situation we are not going to leave people homeless so we have to put them somewhere. In an emergency, a hotel is the only realistic option.
