A Galway homeless and domestic violence charity has said that its resources have been stretched to their maximum, as a result of a chronic shortage of available housing and emergency accommodation.
COPE Galway's annual report, which is being published this morning, shows the charity provided direct assistance to almost 3,000 people during 2022.
Mr Smyth said a key ask would be a call on the Coalition to step up and fund operations, to the levels needed. This entailed other homeless services adapting to ensure help could be given to vulnerable people during high-risk winter months. Some clients were moved to community-based housing, so that beds at two hostels operated by the charity could be allocated on a night-by-night basis.
