- Focus Ireland CEO Pat Dennigan stated the government’s approach to homelessness is failing and called for a no fault eviction ban, while Simon Communities’ Ber Grogan noted figures have not decreased for five months.
- The rising emergency accommodation demand stresses local authorities and indicates an urgent need for policy change and sustainable housing solutions to address this worsening crisis.
