What steps have been taken to address the crisis in homelessness? I will mention the figures again, though I think they are actually a little bit higher than this: 14,486 people, including 4,419 children, are in need of emergency accommodation. In Galway, there are no houses available under HAP and homeless services are at full capacity. I am not given to exaggeration; they are the facts in Galway city.
