Eoghan Murphy: Family homelessness stablised

Family homelessness appears to have stabilised in Dublin, the housing minister has said.

During August and September, the number of families exiting homelessness services was greater than those accessing them, Minister Eoghan Murphy said yesterday.

In October, the number of new families accessing homelessness services increased by one family and while it was one family too many, said Mr Murphy, 87 no longer needed them.
