'No room at the inn' for many homeless this Christmas, warns Opposition TD

Sinn Féin TD Maurice Quinlivan expressed his alarm today that homeless people may be forced to move out of emergency accommodation over the Christmas period due to the seasonal closure of hotels.

Speaking after raising the issue in the Dáil with the Minister for Housing, Simon Coveney, the Limerick city TD said: “Agencies involved in the provision of emergency accommodation for homeless families and single people are extremely worried about the provision of services over the Christmas period in the city.
