Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Interim Report on Homelessness: Discussion

Mr. Pat Dennigan:

That also has its place. There is no doubt about that. Anything that will increase the supply for people in emergency accommodation is definitely worthwhile. There is no question about that, but it is not just that; we also need to provide the services and supply that go along with it. What is key is to stop people falling into that trap and moving into emergency accommodation in the first place. There has been a marked trend in people leaving the marketplace as landlords and we must do anything we can to stop that.
