Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Update on Homelessness: Discussion
Mr. David Kelly:
The methodology introduced some years ago for counting the number of homeless involves counting the number accessing emergency accommodation in the last full week of the month. The presentation figure is for the full month and, therefore, there can be some discrepancies in the numbers. I just wanted to provide that clarification.
