Dan Boyle (Cork South Central, Green Party)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, that the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government make a statement in this House on the statistics revealed in the publication of the annual report of the Cork Simon Community, which show a 12% increase in the number of people availing of emergency accommodation from the organisation, accompanied by a 50% increase in the use of its daytime services.
