View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 208 to 210, inclusive, together.
The official homelessness data reports provided by housing authorities are produced using the Pathway Accommodation & Support System (PASS), the single integrated national data information system on State-funded emergency accommodation arrangements overseen by housing authorities. These reports are published on my Department's website as soon as they are available and can be accessed using the following link:
http://www.housing.gov.ie/housing/homelessness/other/homelessness-data.
The reports contain details of adult individuals and households with dependents placed in emergency accommodation. While the reports contain details of the numbers of individual adults availing of various broad categories of emergency accommodation, they do not provide details specifically in relation to B&B accommodation. That level of detail is not available in my Department and is a matter for the individual housing authorities.
