The housing and homelessness crisis is off the charts. The governments housing plan is a total failure.

Sickening news this morning that homeless figures have increased yet again to over 7000 (including 2500 children). When I raised it with the Minister - all we get is the same old platitudes which will mean the next figures will be another increase! We need the 50,000 empty homes in cities across Ireland to be taken over by the councils immediately, we need this government to stop relying on the private landlords to deliver social housing and we need an emergency programme to build council houses. In Dun Laoghaire last year there were only 54 actual council houses with permanent tenancies were built and meanwhile over 500 new applications were received by the council. This madness has to stop.
