Public Accounts Committee

2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (Resumed)

9:30 am

Mr. Kevin McCarthy:

The gross number of people not offered accommodation on their day of arrival was higher than 203. Some 119 have been offered accommodation subsequent to their arrival on 24 January. All of these people are essentially on a waiting list for accommodation. We take their details and will offer them accommodation as soon as we are in a position to do so. I have referred to the huge scale of the challenge that we have, particularly in respect of single males.
