Homeless Accommodation
Dail Éireann — 2023-07-06
============================================================

Paul Murphy (PBP), Dublin South-West

No criteria; everybody should be entitled to be a tenant of the State and to a differential rent. The entire and central problem of the whole Government strategy is that it is obsessed with incentivising the private sector. I ask the Minister, how many is too many? What is the target for when there will be zero people in emergency accommodation? His predecessors had targets for ending homelessness - for Joan Burton, it was 2016, and for the Minister, Deputy Coveney, it was July 2016 as well, or possibly 2017. What is the Minister's target for when there will be no people in emergency accommodation?
