Emergency Accommodation Provision
8:15 pm
Eoin Ó Broin (Dublin Mid West, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
In the two reports on family emergency accommodations and hubs published yesterday, one by the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission and the other by two academics from Maynooth University funded by the European Union, one of their central recommendations was the need for an independent inspection regime for emergency accommodation, in particular for families. In order to ensure the highest possible standards are met not just in the initial provision of emergency accommodation, will the Minister give a commitment to at least explore legislation to ensure family emergency accommodation has some formal independent inspection regime, whether by Tusla or some similar body?
