Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Interim Report on Homelessness: Discussion
Ms Mary Hayes:
We do not refuse the offer of emergency accommodation but we do make an assessment. We have to take cognisance of issues that an independent agency may not be aware of. A prison discharge, for example, may have an impact on services and we have to take that into consideration. We must consider where that person was intended to be discharged to. There are factors of which we need to be careful.
