Written answers

Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth

This question is more appropriate to the Minster for Justice who is responsible for persons entry into Ireland and Enterprise, Trade and Employment who has responsibility for the labour market. Our Department has responsibility for short-term accommodation for those who are legally entitled to it.
