THE NUMBER OF people experiencing homelessness in Ireland has once again hit a record high with latest government figures showing that 11,632 people were living in emergency accommodation in December.A total of 8,190 adults and 3,442 children were living in emergency accommodation during the week of 19 to 25 December.The figure from December includes 4,971 Irish citizens, 1,826 European Economic Area / UK citizens and 1,393 non-EEA citizens.

“We are now half-way through the breathing space and that the winter eviction ban creates, and we are calling on the Government to publish a progress report on how it has used this time and what it plans to put in place before the end of the current ban,” Dennigan said.

While the Citywest is closed to new arrivals, it will remain open for all other matters, including processing of accommodation for Ukrainian Beneficiaries of Temporary Protection. The Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth said that any International Protection Applicants who are not provided with accommodation upon arrival or when applying for International Protection will have their contact details taken and be contacted as soon as accommodation becomes available.

Typically. This is what our government has putin our country. We must do something about this. The protests only get so far. We need more ppl at the protests. And this gov needs to be removed.

Complete failure by FF FG GRN. Axis of incompetence.
