Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I was asked about emergency accommodation. There is more emergency accommodation coming on stream. As I have always said, emergency accommodation is not a solution. It is only a backstop and it is only a temporary solution that some people need sometimes. In many cases, it is for a few weeks or a few months. It is certainly our objective that if anyone needs emergency accommodation it should not be for a prolonged period.
