Ireland's Homeless Crisis: A Record-Breaking 17,517 in Emergency Accommodation
Description
Irelands homeless crisis hits record high with 17,517 people in emergency accommodation, surpassing the population of Maynooth. The real number may be even higher due to hidden cases. New rental rules, implemented around March 1st, make it easier for landlords to evict tenants and prioritize current renters over homeless individuals. Opposition parties blame the government for political choices leading to the crisis, citing slashed funding for homeless prevention and missed targets on affordable housing. Critics argue that these decisions benefit developers and investors, exacerbating the issue and causing a surge in child homelessness.
