Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Update on Homelessness: Discussion
Dr. Dermot Kavanagh:
The people in housing with support are not considered homeless, so they are not included. The figure of eight people refers to all those people in Cork who were homeless at the time of their death. Quite a number of people who, as I said, are in various supported housing projects have suffered a lifetime of ill health and will have passed away over the course of the year.
