'I don't accept that argument' - Minister denies Ireland 'is full', but says more people who arrive here will be without accommodation.
"I think it's likely that it will rise," he said.
"We are deeply concerned by the communication from the department which says that newly arriving applicants for International Protection, who present as single people without children, will not be provided with accommodation," the IHREC said. "It is extremely serious and as Minister for Integration and as Minister for Equality, it doesn't sit well with me - it doesn't sit well with anybody across Government," he added."I don't accept that argument, I think we can continue to support people fleeing conflict," he said.
