Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Homelessness Issues: Discussion

Ms Mary Hayes:

It is hard to measure it and be specific. If we were to look at it today it might be 20% of the people in Dublin who do not have a housing application. That said, some of those people will have a housing application in 12 weeks' time and they may have just put one in. Some of those applications may be deferred because they are waiting for residency or different things. It is a fluid and difficult-to-measure situation, therefore, but at any one time we are looking at about 20% of applications of people who are coming in.
