The role of my Department in relation to homelessness involves the provision of a national framework of policy, legislation and funding to underpin the role of local authorities in addressing homelessness at local or regional level. Responsibility for the provision of emergency accommodation and related services for homeless persons is a matter for the local authorities.

Therefore, the detailed local information sought is not held in my Department and is a matter for the relevant housing authority, in this case, Tipperary County Council.
