I propose to take Questions Nos. 1411 and 1452 together.

Data on individuals in emergency accommodation is provided through the Pathway Accommodation & Support System (PASS). Lead housing authorities provide monthly reports on homelessness which identify the number of people utilising State-funded emergency accommodation on a regional and county basis. These monthly reports also provide details of the breakdown of the individuals and the numbers of families and dependents that are in emergency accommodation. These monthly reports are available on my Department’s website at the following link: .

Details of the gender breakdown of rough sleepers nationally over the past 10 years are not held in my Department.
