Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Impact of Homelessness on Children: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Jim Gibson:

We have specific metrics that the Deputy is aware of and we have presented to the committee on the matters we receive. We do not count homelessness at this juncture. If there is a child protection issue, then it is about the needs of the child relating to abuse or neglect.
