On the issue of inter-county transfers, homelessness does not recognise boundaries. It is my understanding that people who are not from Dublin but who find themselves homeless in Dublin cannot access emergency accommodation. If they use the free phone number, they find it extremely challenging if they are not from Dublin and have not got a local link. I appreciate what Ms Hayes said about getting them an offer of accommodation in Waterford, Cork or wherever they are from but if they are homeless in Dublin, they need to be accommodated in Dublin. It is my understanding that this is still not happening.
