Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Implementing Housing for All: Discussion

Ms Catherine Keenan:

We have 72 homeless families and are working on their exits. We are fully aware of the trauma those families are going through. We are working to try to get a number of exits. Mr. O'Reilly is right. There are difficulties in respect of self-accommodation and the emergency accommodation we can provide at the moment, for a variety of reasons that are probably well documented. Our team is working to try to increase the exits between now and the end of the year.
