Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Homelessness: Discussion

Mr. Brendan Kenny:

We have taken advantage of that. Initially we got 100 self-contained apartments in the city that were formerly Airbnb. We are still using them. That allowed us to move families and children out of hotels. We are doing an average of 300 homeless HAP tenancies every month where previously we were struggling to make 200. The result has been the disappearance of bed and breakfast accommodation.
