Letter to Ministers Darragh O’Brien and Roderic O’Gorman warned movements are having ‘devastating impact’ on children’s rights
In the letter dated October 17th, which was released to The Irish Times under the Freedom of Information Act, Dr Muldoon said recent months had seen “many eviction notices” issued to families with children, including lone-parent families, causing significant distress and upheaval.Parties clash on future of Help to Buy scheme which Sinn Féin plans to abolish
In his correspondence, Dr Muldoon said he was writing to both ministers as the housing needs of refugee and asylum-seeking children lay between both departments and required a concerted effort across Government. He said in the immediate term, and until such assessments are in place, the Government should extend the exemption from eviction given to people in direct provision over 65, or those with health needs, to families with children.
The Department of Integration said it “never allows” people with status to be left without accommodation, even though there is “no formal legal entitlement to provide people with status with accommodation”.
