I agree with the two previous speakers. Homelessness in my area of Carlow is not on the same scale as in Dublin. Lack of accommodation is a big issue. We are now finding that people coming in from bordering places such as Kildare, Newbridge or Laois are told they cannot go on our housing list if they are homeless. These people might have family living in the area. Years ago, a person could be on two or three housing lists.
