Just 19 TDs in Dáil for debate on child homelessness crisis
Charities have accused politicians of caring more about their month-long Christmas break than the child homelessness crisis after just 19 of 158 TDs, and only three Government members, attended a two-hour debate on the scandal.
The Peter McVerry Trust, Simon Community, and Inner City Helping Homeless lashed out at the attendance rate, insisting TDs must care more about the nearly 3,200 children at risk of living on the streets.
