Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I am starting to form an opinion around some of these scandalous crises, namely, that it is Government policy. I am of the view that it is Government policy to have people on hospital trolleys. If something happens once or twice or for one month or two months, it must be policy. The Simon Community and other advocacy groups have proved that the homelessness crisis has worsened. Focus Ireland has stated that rising rents and static rent supplement payments are causing homelessness in families, 90% of which were never before homeless. Many are also being made homeless by landlords selling properties to take advantage of rising property prices.

A citizen has the right to a home. The Government needs to completely change the manner-----
