Summary
The Oireachtas Housing Committee has published a major new report on homelessness, urging the Government to consider all options, including the possible reintroduction of an emergency ban on no-fault evictions. The report also calls for greater investment in homelessness prevention, more social and affordable housing, and a renewed focus on tackling child homelessness. With homelessness continuing to rise across the country, the committee says urgent action is needed if Ireland is to meet its target of ending long-term homelessness by 2030. To discuss the recommendations and what they could mean in practice, Alan Morrissey was joined by Niall Garvey, CEO of Midwest Simon Community, and Una Burns, Head of Advocacy and Communications with Novas, which operates homelessness services in Ennis and across the country.
