An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 Nov 2023)

Maurice Quinlivan: Page 60 of the programme for Government refers to tackling homelessness and further states the priority of the Government is to reduce it while in government.

The embargo on recruitment prolongs the wait time for those on waiting lists...
