Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Post-Budget Analysis: National Women's Council and Social Justice Ireland

1:30 pm

Dr. Seán Healy:

That question always worries me because people might conclude that they can take their focus off supply.

Whatever number we put down on it, and we will send it on, it is a temporary number based on the premise that one is then going to have a sufficient supply to stop the flow. We would be clearing the number of people who are already homeless but we have to stop the flow of people into homelessness. That is going to require housing accommodation.
