It doesn't make sense that someone who was legitimately homeless 6 months ago is suddenly now in a position to be able to house themselves because of COVID.
Family homelessness quadrupled in space of six years as crisis in housing spiralled For the past year, the total number of homeless adults and children in the country has hovered around 10,000, more than three times the figure when the Department of Housing began standardising data collection in 2014.Link
Number of homeless people drops below 10,000 amid Covid-19 measures Charities say decrease expected due to anti-eviction measures and Airbnb lettings available “We know that there are many individuals and families who were on the brink of homelessness who have been supported to remain in their home due to the moratorium on evictions for the duration of the crisis. Once the health crisis eases, we need to ensure that there are preventative supports in place to help these families and individuals stay out of homeless emergency accommodation.” Similarly, Focus Ireland chief executive Pat Dennigan said the fall in the number had been “widely predicted” not just because of the anti-eviction measures but also the number of Airbnb lettings coming back onto the rental market.Link

Then they need to come back and show us a link from the terms of reference where it says Judge Charleton was allowed to adjudicate on Francis Fitzgeralds performance in the Dail. I await the links lads and in the mean time enjoy your fools errand
