QUESTION NO. 23

QUESTION: Councillor D. Richardson

"To ask the Chief Executive to report on the amount of families in hubs and emergency accommodation in the Tallaght area?"

REPLY:

"The following hub type accommodation is available in South Dublin County Council administrative area:

High Street Hub                             50 rooms

Respond Springfield                         9 rooms

Respond Firhouse                           16 rooms

Tallaght Cross                                64

The numbers accommodated at any date depends on the family composition as multiple rooms can be needed for one family.  Rooms may not be available due to regular cleaning/maintenance works needed when families leave and before new families are allocated accommodation.   

Additional emergency accommodation is availabe in hotels across the region.  Approximately 148 families are accommodated in hotels and B&B's and this varies on a night by night basis.  It is not possible to break this down to the Tallaght area."
