- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Homeless Persons Supports (30 May 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Yesterday, the Dublin Inquirer reported that the Dublin Region Homeless Executive is seeking an additional 2,000 emergency beds for people experiencing homelessness here in Dublin. Yesterday, I was in Limerick with my colleague, Deputy Quinlivan. We met with Help the Homeless Limerick, NOVAS and other front-line homelessness service providers. They described a significant deterioration in...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Homeless Persons Supports (30 May 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: The Minister is absolutely correct that he has turned the dial and that there has been a step change. That step change is the most dramatic increase in child homelessness under any Minister in modern times. In Cork city, Limerick city, Waterford and Dublin, homelessness is rising. When Deputy O'Brien became Minister, there were just over 2,500 children in emergency accommodation funded by...

- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Reports (30 May 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Not only is the Minister's response delusional, it is positively Orwellian in its attempt to describe a report that is critical of the Government as somehow endorsing it. In fact, the Minister has provoked the ire of one of the commission members, Mr. Michael O'Flynn, who was on the "Today with Claire Byrne" show last week. Not only has he been deeply disappointed by the Government's...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Reports (30 May 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: The truth of the matter is the vast majority of what is in the report has not only not been initiated by the Government but is at radical variance with it. I will deal with two matters. When the Government was developing the targets for its current plan, it deliberately excluded pent-up demand. When the ESRI undertook its survey to inform the Government's plan, it was not allowed to look...
