Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Impact of Homelessness on Children: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Cormac Quinlan:

As the Deputy is aware, we produce quarterly and annual reports on the services we provide and particular metrics. We report on categories of child abuse cases and welfare cases in our responses. Most people who are referred to us are not referred on the issue primarily of homelessness. They are referred on the impact of homelessness on the child. They may identify that a child has a particular need or that a parent needs a particular family support. We publish information on the number of family support services we provide and the number of families in family support services as well as the number of children.
