Dáil Éireann Debate, Monday - 11 September 2017
1965. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the number of homeless children in County Kerry to date in 2017; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37247/17]
View answerOfficial homeless reports are published on my Department's website on a monthly basis and can be accessed using the following link: http://www.housing.gov.ie/housing/homelessness/other/homelessness-data.
These reports are based on data provided by housing authorities and are produced through the Pathway Accommodation & Support System (PASS). These reports capture details of individuals utilising State-funded emergency accommodation arrangements that are overseen by housing authorities.
As details on dependants are only collected by my Department on a regional basis, the specific data sought by the Deputy is not available from my Department and is a matter for the relevant housing authority.
