Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Impact of Homelessness on Children: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Niall Muldoon:

It is not something that we have picked up on in a lot of the cases. Our direct consultations were with people who were much younger and in families. I cannot disagree with the figures. I can imagine the extra trauma that goes with that. If one has been forced out of one's home as a young person and trying to come to terms with one's sexuality and identity, it must add enormously to the trauma.
