However, too often suburban agencies, such as those in Tallaght or Clondalkin, solve their problems by sending homeless people into the city centre. I recently visited a suburban centre that was attempting to address the problem by providing temporary accommodation in the form of a hostel or such like. Sending the homeless to the city centre creates too much pressure, with the result that there can be too many hostels. Every area must do its share in tackling drug abuse and homelessness because it is easier to support those at risk if they are helped near their home communities. They can be more easily stabilised, which increases their prospects of resuming decent lives.
