9,335 people were living in emergency accommodation in April

Homeless services say the ban on evictions and a greater availability of accommodation following travel restrictions are among the reasons for the reduction.

In Dublin, the figures are the lowest in nearly four years and the number of children in emergency accommodation has been reduced by 400 since January. Minister for Housing Eoghan Murphy said the fall was not due to increased availability of temporary accommodation. Assistant chief executive with Dublin City Council Brendan Kenny said in a statement to councillors that the Government's ban on evictions, families remaining at home during the pandemic rather than presenting for emergency accommodation, and the greater supply of housing were reasons for the reduction.
