The author said that scores of people experiencing homelessness died prematurely each year and that recommendations from an important 2021 report aimed at preventing these deaths had not been implemented. They called for urgent action by the Government to stop what they described as tragic and unnecessary deaths.
The author said recommendations to reduce deaths among homeless people and support bereaved families had still not been acted on years later.

The author said the budget should have invested in delivering genuinely affordable homes, but claimed the Government instead wanted to push up house prices and make home ownership inaccessible to more people. They criticised the approach as difficult to believe.
The author said the budget could have offered hope on housing but claimed the government had prioritised major developers, investment funds and corporate landlords over workers and families. They said they would continue pressing the government for affordable homes.
The post’s author called on the Minister for Housing to urgently raise and reform social housing income eligibility thresholds, saying thousands of families were being removed from council housing lists or denied access to social housing because the thresholds were too low.
The author argued that adding a right to housing to the Constitution could drive meaningful change and help ensure everyone had access to secure, adequate and affordable homes.
The author said that three years on, no redress scheme had been introduced to fix defective Celtic Tiger-era homes, leaving tens of thousands of homeowners and tenants in limbo.
