Just 25% of units for homeless delivered
According to recent figures by mid-November just 296 units had been secured in the greater Dublin area, with the Irish Council of Social Housing claiming the shortfall was due to banks and developers “reneging” on a memorandum of understanding.
The target of 1,200 housing units was set as part of an attempt to meet the Government’s stated aim of ending long-term homelessness by the end of this year.
