Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage

Peter McVerry Trust: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Rosemarie Tobin:

Yes. We are working all of the time to make sure that we have the funding to support this. The principle that we are operating on is that private emergency accommodation is very expensive and is not the model we want to go with. We want a sustainable NGO sector to provide this accommodation and while we recognise that it might mean an increase in the NGO provision, hopefully it takes us away from the over-reliance on the private sector.
