Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs
Impact of Homelessness on Children: Discussion (Resumed)
Let us look at the issues that are concerning us now. Deputy Rabbitte mentioned the 25,000 homes. Dr. Muldoon said there was a mixture, including student accommodation. Let us find out what homes are available. If we cannot provide 1,700 with one, let us give 700 families a home. The witnesses should focus on certain members and get them to fight their fight. That is what we should do for the next six to eight months. I do not know if I even asked a question in all that waffling. While it is wonderful to listen to the witnesses, whose reports are comprehensive, we must be practical now. Does anyone want to respond to that?
