- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (17 Oct 2024)
Maurice Quinlivan: The issue of homelessness in Limerick has never been so bad. There is a complete absence of available emergency accommodation for those who desperately need it.

On any given evening, there can be up to 70 people sleeping rough. This part of...

Maurice Quinlivan: Can Mr. McBrien give us some examples? I represent Limerick City and we have a huge crisis in our emergency department. I would hate to think, as the witness has just explained to us, and I do not mean to downplay someone who has an addiction problem, that doctors might be taken away from a crisis intervention to prescribe methadone.
