Committee on Housing and Homelessness

Simon Communities of Ireland

10:30 am

Mr. Dermot Kavanagh:

On that very point, there is a special homelessness HAP scheme in Dublin where the figure can go 50% above the limit. I understand that was effective in housing well over 200 people last year. The same provision is necessary in Cork and other parts of the country.
