Eoin Ó Broin (Dublin Mid West, Sinn Fein)

As the Minister knows, the figures published at the end of August for July show yet again an increase in the numbers of adults and children, including single people and pensioners, in emergency accommodation. Month after month, we see these increases. What the Minister is doing is not only not fixing the problem but also making it worse. What new initiatives does he intend to introduce in the coming months to start getting a grip on a crisis that he has not yet tackled since becoming Minister?
