Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs
Impact of Homelessness on Children: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Carmel Corrigan:
It is not something that specifically came to our attention during the consultations in any number at all. I appreciate that for all young people coming to terms with their sexuality, whatever that may be, is a transition period in their lives and it can be a difficult and challenging situation. For somebody trying to come to terms with that while living in a room with the rest of his or her family for a protracted period may pose particular and difficult challenges, particularly for the LGBTI community. It may be a particularly difficult scenario for young people who are dealing with that and expressing that to be in.
