At the DCC budget meeting last month we learned that Dublin City Council spends €400mn out of a €1.6bn budget on homelessness. It is a colossal business.

a letter to ‘the new statesman’ publication In 1962 I was a Conservative. I believed privilege could only be justified by service, high taxes on very high incomes were necessary to prevent an entrepreneurial economy becoming a rentier economy, and Keynesian growth would finance public service improvements and a welfare state that steadily reduced inequality. I was suspicious of ideologically driven, large-scale change. These were the mainstream policies of the Macmillan government at the time. In 60 years I have moved from centre right to hard left without changing my opinions. Dr Stephen Watkins, Oldham, Lancashire
