My Department’s role in relation to homelessness involves the provision of a national framework of policy, legislation and funding to underpin the role of housing authorities in addressing homelessness at local level. Statutory responsibility in relation to the provision of accommodation and associated services for homeless persons rests with individual housing authorities.

The oversight of all homeless accommodation services is a matter for individual housing authorities, in this case Cork City Council. Based on certified expenditure reports submitted to my Department by the South West Region, the building referred to in the question is a homeless accommodation facility.
