Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

The Minister is adamant that no one should be turned away. He is of the view that there is capacity and that no one should be turned away just because they are from one district and have moved to another district, particularly during the Christmas period. There is no confusion on the Minister's part. He is very well up to speed on the homelessness issue and is in constant contact with all of the non-governmental organisations involved in the area of homelessness. He is very determined that no door should be closed to any homeless person.
