Enda Kenny: No homeless on streets at Christmas

Taoiseach Enda Kenny yesterday pledged that nobody would be left on the streets over the Christmas period — unless they wanted to be.

However, he again refused to increase rent supplement levels amid claims that vulnerable families unable to pay landlords were being kicked out of their accommodation onto the streets.

Marking the one year anniversary of Mr Corrie’s death outside the Dáil, Opposition leaders claimed the homelessness crisis had in fact “deepened” over the last year.
