QUESTION NO.29

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

To ask the Chief Executive for an update report on the Homeless in Hotels and B & Bs and costs associated with this?  A detailed report would be appreciated

REPLY:

At present there are 156 families accommodated in Hotels & Bed & Breakfasts placed by South Dublin County Council either through the Central Placement Services or on a Self-Accommodate Option.  There are in addition 64 families based in Tallaght Cross.

It is not possible to identify the costs associated with this accommodation as it changes daily and the costs are met by the Dublin Regional Homeless Executive on a regional basis on behalf of the four local authorities.
