Focus Ireland Chief Executive Declan Jones is the external expert for Day 4 (Thur Nov 27th) of Merchants Quay Ireland’s week-long Dealing with Homelessness campaign. The 4th day of the campaign is highlighting issues facing families, children and young people. Each day of the campaign has highlighted different issues including the relationship between homelessness and drug and alcohol use. Mr. Jones said: “I support the many issues raised by this campaign. One of the problems we’ve found is that people with addiction problems are being forced into a position where they’re stuck sleeping rough on the streets because of the lack of suitable accommodation and services. This means they quickly become further marginalized and stuck in a vicious circle of substance abuse and homelessness.” read full story / add a comment

· Charity calls for the Government to “stop paying lip service to the most marginalized in society” and take action to cut the growing gap between rich and poor Focus Ireland warned the Government today that more hard hitting cuts in next week’s Budget will force thousands more people into homelessness and further widen the gap between rich and poor nationwide. Declan Jones Focus Ireland Chief Executive said: “ The Government must take immediate action to reverse the cuts of up to €60 million in the social welfare budget recently revealed in the Book of Estimates and act to protect people on social welfare and low incomes or more people than ever before will be forced into homeless. The recent cuts in the rent allowance system in particular have already made it even harder than ever before for the most vulnerable in our society to keep a roof over their heads..” read full story / add a comment
