Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Homelessness Issues: Discussion

Ms Ann-Marie O'Reilly:

Possibly, yes, because there are just not enough houses. We see the increase in hidden homelessness as I mentioned. Our expectation in that regard was touched on already, but the homeless numbers only count those who are in emergency accommodation. That number may not rise hugely but it is based on the capacity of the accommodation. We can see the rise in hidden homelessness.
