Mr. John Brannigan:

To give a brief background, the presentation of homelessness in Longford has always hovered around the 70 to 80 mark. Up until 2020, we had 78 homeless presentations and, in 2021, we had 93 and last year, we saw 151. There are no rough sleepers within the town so we cater for them all. We work with various approved housing bodies and bed and breakfast providers, and with the HSE to get supports where they are needed for these individuals.
