This has led to 1,900 cancellations in hospitals and that figure does not include CUH. Each one of these is a human being suffering because...

Accommodation Needs for New Arrivals: Statements (23 May 2023)

Thomas Gould: I send my support and solidarity to everyone who has been forced to sleep on the streets in this State because of this Government's continued mishandling of the crisis in accommodation.

The witnesses are probably aware of it. I am talking about...

Thomas Gould: To follow on from the point made by Deputy Boyd Barrett, the local authority in the area where I live, Cork City Council, does not build extensions for people and its criteria for housing allocation are very tight. I am dealing with a number of families. One man has a notice to quit and the house he is in is not fit for his family. Local authorities should be able to build extensions or...
