201 families registered homeless in South Dublin
THERE WERE 201 families registered as homeless in South Dublin at the end of February, The Echo can reveal.
At this month’s meeting of South Dublin County Council, Councillor Paul Foley asked the Council how many homeless families are being accommodated in hotels or other temporary accommodation? How many children under the age of 18 are included in those families?
The Council replied that at the end of February there were 201 families registered as homeless in South Dublin administrative area.
Of the 201, 105 were accommodated in family hubs (60 in Tallaght Cross, 36 in The Abberley Court and nine in Cuan Alainn) and 96 families were accommodated in other emergency and hotel accommodation across the region.
The Council said it is not possible to report on the number of children included with those families as it would involve a detailed manual search of the records of each and every family involved.
