Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Homelessness Issues: Discussion

Ms Mary Hayes:

In terms of what we have seen on the housing list, yes. Naturally, it is a sign of a healthy and thriving democracy. We have almost full employment in this country and many people come into the country to work so, undoubtedly, a strain will be put on resources. A lot of that work is often based in urban areas. The areas under the most strain in terms of housing are urban areas. That is my own take on the issue but I do not know.
