Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Right to Housing: Discussion

12:30 pm

Ms Sinead Kerin:

I thank the Chair for inviting us. We just want to leave the committee with two points. Currently, there is no right to shelter in Ireland. We have families living in bedrooms for two and a half years. I hope the committee will show leadership, move forward and improve the lives of several thousands of children. I thank members for their attention and for inviting us.
