MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, September 22, 2014

MOTION NO. 6

MOTION: Councillor C. King

That this Council calls on the Chief Executive to commission a report with a view to establishing the correct economic parameters and opportunities to establish a transitional homeless accommodation project to meet the requirements of our homeless population similar to the hugely successful Killininny House which has been in operation since summer 2013 and is being run by the The Father Peter McVerry Trust on our behalf and which was funded by Cllrs Conference expenses.

REPORT:

South Dublin County Council is committed to delivering better outcomes for our homeless population within the County. To this end the Council is currently examining the feasibility as well as funding options for the establishment of an additional Supported Temporary Accommodation (STA) Facility similar to that currently in operation in the Tallaght Area.  A report on this matter will be brought to the Housing, Social & Community Development SPC later this year.
