Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Update on Homelessness: Discussion

Mr. Niall ? Donnabh?in:

Absolutely. From our perspective it is absolutely our priority. At the end of the fourth quarter of 2023 we had 59 families and we had 55 families in January. We expect another 15 single persons and families to exit in the first quarter of this year. This will be a total of 80, up from 25. Our priority is to try to reduce as much as possible all homelessness with a significant focus, as Deputy Gould said, on families because of the children involved and all of the issues he has raised.
