Report on Dublin and Monaghan Bombings: Motion. - Local Authority Funding: Motion.

 

The last group I will mention is prisoners. As Members know, we have a very high recidivism rate of almost 90%. How important is it that so many people who are released from prison are not in a position to go back to their families, who have perhaps had enough of them? As we frequently see, theft, especially for those involved in drug abuse, begins in the family home. These people have difficulty finding social housing. There are many groups of vulnerable people in our society which have been badly let down and are still being let down by the Government.
