Outside of Dublin Limerick City had the highest number of people accessing emergency homeless accommodation in January this year 😢 489 people accessed Council emergency accommodation in the last week in January. I will have a motion at Council to urgently reinstate the no-faults eviction ban

I am thrilled to see Shannon Foynes Port Company announce reinstatement works for the Sailors Home on O’Curry Street. The building was gutted by fire in 2023. The works on restoring this historic building have now commenced and expected to be completed by the end of the year
