'We should continue to support non-EU nationals who need homes' -Housing Agency Chief Executive
orlared: 'We should continue to support non-EU nationals who need homes' -Housing Agency Chief Executive
The Chief Executive of the Housing Agency John O'Connor told Pat Kenny that he believes Ireland should continue to support non-EU nationals who need homes because we are perhaps are more compassionate society than others. Pat Kenny told him that he had heard there were hundreds of illegals being provided with hotel accommodation by the state according to a minister.
Kenny had been told on Friday the 5th of October by the Minister of Housing Eoghan Murphy that the right to housing for roughly one third of the families in emergency accommodation was in question as a result of them either being from outside the EU or from certain EU countries.
