Emmet Stagg (Kildare North, Labour)

I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the need for the Government to take urgent action to provide emergency accommodation for the estimated 275 on the streets and 4,000 overall homeless persons in Dublin city and elsewhere in the face of worsening severe winter conditions; and in view of the deaths that have occurred amongst the homeless from hypothermia already this year and thereby to ensure that nobody else dies from the cold this winter and that the reasons and causes of and for homelessness are finally tackled and ended.
