QUESTION NO.12

QUESTION: Councillor D. Looney

To ask the Chief Executive to provide a report on all so-called “homeless hubs” in the area under SDCC’s remit, to ask if more are planned for the time ahead, and to make a statement on the matter. 

REPLY:

Currently South Dublin has 3 hubs in our area.  The total number of families accommodated in them is 105 

Tallaght Cross (60 families)

Abberley Court (36 families)

Cuan Alainn (9 families)

At the end of February there were 96 additional families accommodated in various other forms of emergency accommodation including hotels across the region.  The Council is actively seeking additional hub accommodation to temporarily accommodate these families.
